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.
Atoms in a covalent bond are held together by electrostatic forces of attraction between positively charged nuclei and negatively charged shared electrons. Electronegativity (see Patterns in the Periodic Table) is the measure the attraction of an atom involved in a bond has for the electrons of the bond. When two atoms bonded by a covalent bond have the same electronegativity the electrons will be equally shared. This is called pure (non-polar) covalent bonding.
