Enzymes

An general overview of Enzymes and their functions!

Temperature

________: pH and other environmental conditions that affect protein folding.

Substrate

________: Higher the concentration, the faster the rate until enzyme saturation occurs.

Enzymes

________ help speed up chemical reactions in the human body.

Remember metabolic reactions

Product: ________ are reversible so a high concentration of product can favor the reverse reaction.

Enzyme

________: Higher the concentration, the faster the rate until the substrate limits the reaction.

Enzymes

________ are proteins comprised of amino acids linked together in one or more polypeptide chains.

Competitive inhibition

Competitive inhibition is a type of enzyme inhibition in which an inhibitor binds to the active sites of an enzyme, preventing the substrate from binding to the enzyme

Non-Competitive Inhibition

Noncompetitive inhibition is a type of enzyme inhibition in which an inhibitor reduces the activity of an enzyme

Substrate

Higher the concentration, the faster the rate until enzyme saturation occurs

Enzyme's Function

Enzymes help speed up chemical reactions in the human body. They are essential for respiration, digesting food, muscle and nerve function, among thousands of other roles. There are different types of reactions that enzyme does.

Enzyme's structure

Enzymes are proteins comprised of amino acids linked together in one or more polypeptide chains. This sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide chain is called the primary structure. This, in turn, determines the three-dimensional structure of the enzyme, including the shape of the active site.

What is the allosteric site

Allosteric site is a region of an enzyme that allows activator or inhibitor molecules to bind to the enzyme that either activate or inhibit enzyme activity.

What is the active site

Active site is a region of an enzyme where substrate molecules bind and catalyze the reaction resulting in the production of particular products.

Explain the mechanism enzyme functioning

An enzyme attracts substrates to its active site, catalyzes the chemical reaction by which products are formed, and then allows the products to dissociate (separate from the enzyme surface). The combination formed by an enzyme and its substrates is called the enzyme–substrate complex.

Explain and illustrate enzyme impact on the rate of reactions

Enzymes will increase the rate of a chemical reaction by reducing the activation energy needed to make the reaction get started. Enzymes also speed up the rate of the reaction.

Competitive inhibition

Competitive inhibition is a type of enzyme inhibition in which an inhibitor binds to the active sites of an enzyme, preventing the substrate from binding to the enzyme.

Non Competitive Inhibition

Non Competitive Inhibition: Noncompetitive inhibition is a type of enzyme inhibition in which an inhibitor reduces the activity of an enzyme.
