1
New cards

Enzyme

a protein that acts as a catalyst

2
New cards

Catalyst

speed up reactions without being use or destroyed

can be used infinite amount of times

lowers activation energy

3
New cards

Catabolic Enzyme

helps to break something down

breaks substrate part

4
New cards

Anabolic Enzyme

helps build a molecule

puts substrate together

5
New cards

Competitive Inhibitor

another chemical that competes with the substrate for active site

6
New cards

Allosteric Enzymes

have an allosteric site which can bind a non-competitive inhibitor

changes shape and regulates activity

7
New cards

Denature/Denaturation

lose shape/structure of proteins

  • high temp

  • high/low pH

  • salt concentration
