AP Bio : Unit 3

secondary structure

helix

tertiary structure

polypeptide chain

quardinary structure

complex of chains

catabolic

big breaks down to small burning fuel

anabolic

building complex molecules with simple ones requires energy

allotralistic inhibition

inhibitor attaches to allotralistic site - changes shape of active site to not fit substrate

allotralistic activation

activator attaches to allotralistic site - changes shape of active site to fit substrate

biological catalyast

speeds up reactions w/o being consumed

enzyme-substrate complex

tempiorary complex when substrate and enzyme bind

competitive inhibition

inhibitor binds to active site blocking substrate

endergonic

build energy

exergonic

break molecules for energy
