Energy, reaction and enzymes Flashcards
Potential Energy
Energy related to position
Chemical Potential Energy
Energy in molecular form ( Based on position of electrons)
Electrons far from atom- Low potential Energy
Electrons near atom- High potential Enegery
Gibbs free energy
The energy within a molecule available to work (Free energy)
Endergonic
1-Input of energy( Free energy increases)
2-Energetically unfavorble ( More effort)
3- Include anabolic reaction( Building)
Exergonic
1-Release of energy (Free energy decreases)
2- Energetically favorable (less effort)
3-Includes catabolic reaction( Breaking down)
Biological reaction- Reactants
take part in and undergo change in reactions
Biological reaction- Product
Present at the end of reaction
Activation energy
1- Energy input required to reach transition state
Enzymes
1- Have a binding site=Active site
2- Have a unique and specific shape
Enzyme regulation- Allosteric Regulation (other)
1- Bingding somewhere else not the active site
Activator or Inhibitor
Enzyme Regulation-Competative Inhibition
Bind to active site
Role of cofactors
Cofactors- Assist in Biochemical and transformation
Inorganic ions
can bing elsewhere
Role of Coenzymes
Bind to active site and imporive subtrate binding
