Enzymes are what type of molecule?
Proteins
Anabolic
to build up/ condensation reaction
Catabolic
to break up/hyrdolysis
Enzymes lower
activation energy
Enzymes
speed up reactions
Activation energy
the energy required start a reaction
Enzymes are
substrate specific
Enzymes are
reusable
Co-factors/Co-enzymes
helps to make the enzymes work more efficiently
Enzyme Tip
look for a word ending in ase
Co-Factors
are not organic
induced fit model
The active site shape will change its shape after it grabs the substrate.
competitive Inhibitors
They block the active site to prevent a substrate from bonding
Non-competitive inhibitors
Bonds to the Allosteric site to change the shape of the active site
active site
The part of the enzyme were the substrate can bond and the chemical reaction happens
Substrate
reactant of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction
product
A substance produced in a chemical reaction
