Enzyme Tip

look for a word ending in ase

New cards
11

Co-Factors

are not organic

New cards
12

induced fit model

The active site shape will change its shape after it grabs the substrate.

New cards
13

competitive Inhibitors

They block the active site to prevent a substrate from bonding

New cards
14

Non-competitive inhibitors

Bonds to the Allosteric site to change the shape of the active site

New cards
15

active site

The part of the enzyme were the substrate can bond and the chemical reaction happens

New cards
16

Substrate

reactant of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction

New cards
17

product
