What is the active site?

The specific region on an enzyme where the substrate binds and catalysis occurs

2
New cards

What is induced fit?

The change in shape of the enzyme’s active site to accommodate the substrate after binding

3
New cards

What is activation energy? (EA)

The minimum energy required to start a chemical reaction, which enzymes lower to increase the rate of reactions.

New cards

What factors effect reaction rates?

Factors such as temperature, pH, substrate concentration, and enzyme concentration can influence the rate of chemical reactions by affecting the activity of enzymes.
