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

pH

Enzyme activity is at its maximum value at the optimum pH
