Anna Nalick - catalyst (lyrics)

Mar 18, 2011 - i hate to be a dick but what you said isnt really right. The cataylst is only capable of speeding up a reaction if it is meant to react with that particular substrate. Otherwise the active site will not bind with the substrate becuase the tertiary structure of it is not fit for that reaction. It does not trigger a different reaction it simply lowers the amount of chemical energy (activation energy) necessary for that reaction to occur. Y are we arguing about this on an amazing song?

Mar 20, 2011 - promise i'm not arguing! what i meant by "different reaction" was a sped-up reaction. it doesn't matter really. the world isn't going to end because i don't know how to define a catalyst. :P

May 23, 2011 - actually, a catalyst lowers the activation energy in order to allow a chemical reaction to proceed. My boyfriend is a chemistry major :)

May 23, 2011 - thank you :)

Jun 7, 2011 - @sockmonkey1983In English I was told the catalyst is the event that causes everything to change for the main character in a story.

Jul 18, 2011 - A catalyst is something that starts a chain reaction, that is to say, it helps get the chain reaction going faster. Quickens the pace. It is generally used in science terms, though I suppose it can be applied to almost anything. What Sockmonkey said is correct, just in more scientific terms than I used. :P

Aug 22, 2011 - I know, this could sound pretty wired, but my bf used to sing this to me. He died a few weeks ago, and before his death, he recorded a video for me, where he was telling how the plane is falling down, and that he can't do anything to save himself. The doors are locked in some wired way, so he took his guitar and sang this song to me for the last time... I tear up every time when I listen to this sing, and when I watch this video...Rest in piece Edward...

Dec 16, 2011 - yeah right, anna nalick and taylor swift have completely different tones of voice....taylor is more country twang, while anna nalick is calmer
