Biochem #2 Flashcards
An electron transfer reaction involving the loss of electrons.
oxidation
Enzyme applies stress to a bond in the substrate.
induced fit
A chemical reaction in which the energy of the products is more than the energy of the reactants.
endothermic
A substance that competes with the substrate for the active site.
competitive inhibitor
Protein shape is altered; protein becomes non-functional.
denature
Binds to allosteric site and alters the shape of the active site.
allosteric inhibitor
Bonds within reactants are breaking and bonds of products are forming.
transition state
Difference between the energy levels of the transition state and the reactants.
activation energy
Binds to an allosteric site and allows the substrate to bind.
allosteric activator
Energy within a bond.
potential
The sum of all chemical reactions in a cell or organism.
metabolism
