Lipase (Definition) Lipases, such as lipoprotein lipase and endothelial lipase, are enzymes that breakdown circulating triglycerides (tg). Specifically, lipases degrade tg rich lipoproteins including chylomicrons, very low density lipoprotein (vldl) and remnant particles produced by breakdown of chylomicron and vldl particles.
Properties of a free atom include ionization energy and electron affinity. It is to be expected that the electronegativity of an element will vary with its chemical environment, but it is usually considered to be a transferable property, that is to say that similar values will be valid in a variety of situations.n atom's electronegativity is affected by both its atomic number and the distance at which its valence electrons reside from the charged nucleus. The higher the associated electronegativity number, the more an element or compound attracts electrons towards it.
The electronegativity of an atom is a measure of its affinity for electrons. The atoms of the various elements differ in their affinity for electrons. This image distorts the conventional periodic table of the elements so that the greater the electronegativity of an atom, the higher its position in the table.lthough fluorine (F) is the most electronegative element, it is the electronegativity of runner-up oxygen (O) that is exploited by life. 1  The shuttling of electrons between carbon (C) and oxygen (O) atoms powers life.
