Description
Proteins that SPEED UP CHEMICAL REACTIONS by acting as catalysts
the COMPOUND on which the enzyme works (the molecule UNDERGOING REACTION
the PORTION OF THE ENZYME at which the SUBSTRATE IS TEMPORARILY BOUND while the enzyme is acting on it
COMBINATION OF ENZYME and SUBSTRATE during the CATALYSIS process
INACTIVE form of an enzyme; ACTIVATED in the body when needed through REMOVAL OF A SMALL PART OF THE POLYPEPTIDE CHAIN
enzyme that is ACTIVE as a polypeptide and DOES NOT REQUIRE A COFACTOR
NONPROTEIN part of an enzyme may be either INORGANIC IONS (ZN2+ OR MN2+) or ORGANIC MOLECULES
name given to a COFACTOR when the cofactor is an ORGANIC COMPOUND; many are water-soluble vitamins
Assumes the active site is RIGID, and only a PARTICULAR substrate will fit into it
Assumes the active site is FLEXIBLE and the binding of the substrate induces the proper fit; more realistic; only a specific substrate can properly align so as to bind at the active site
