Question 2

Hasten or speed up of a chemical reaction without being altered

Answer 2

catalyst

Question 3

Can cause anemia

Answer 3

G6PD deficiency

Question 4

Protein in nature

Answer 4

Enzymes

Question 5

Destroys higher level of protein structure

Answer 5

Denaturation

Question 6

Target molecules; substance which an enzyme act upon

Answer 6

Substrate

Question 7

Binds to the substrate; going to fit the shape of substrate; specific

Answer 7

Active site

Question 8

Binds the regulatory molecules or inhibit the action; function is not straightforward

Answer 8

Allosteric site

Question 9

Loyal to their substrate

Answer 9

Absolute specificity

Question 10

Enzymes that search for one portion; phosphatase – any substrate that contains phosphate group; remove phosphate group

Answer 10

Group specificity

Question 11

Exhibits specificity for certain type of bonds

Answer 11

Stereo someric specificity

Question 12

Rigid active site; exact to fit the substrate; Emil Fisher

Answer 12

Lock and key model

Question 13

Flexible active site; widely excepted; because enzymes are proteins – they adjust to fit the substrate; Daniel koshland

Answer 13

Induced fit theory

Question 14

IUB classification

Answer 14

Standard classification for enzymes
