Enzyme Flashcards
The meaning of “zyme” in enzyme.
Yeast
RNAs with catalytic activity are called _____
Ribozyme
Is the region of an enzyme where substrate molecules bind and undergo a chemical reaction.
Active site
Is the intermediate reaction species that is formed when a substrate binds to the active site
Enzyme-product complex
Is the reactant in enzyme-catalyzed reaction
Substrates
What suffix is attached to the substrate of the reaction.
“-ase”
Is the enzyme that catalyze an oxidation-reduction reaction.
Oxidoreductase
Is an enzyme that catalyzes a hydrolysis reaction in which the addition of a water molecule to a bond causes the bond to break.
Hydrolase
Is an enzyme that catalyzes the isomerization (rearrangement of atoms or interconversion of optical, geometric, or positional isomers of a substrate in a reaction, converting it into a molecule isomeric with itself.
Isomerase
Is an enzyme that catalyzes the transfer of a functional group other than hydrogen form one molecule to another.
Transferases
Is an enzyme that catalyzes the addition of a group to a double bond or the removal of a group to form a double bond in a manner that does not involve hydrolysis or oxidation.
Lyase
An enzyme that catalyzes the bonding together of two molecules into one with the participation of ATP.

Lock and Key Model
Is a result of the enzyme’s flexibility; it adapts to accept the incoming substrate.
Induced fit model
Enzyme will catalyze only one reaction.
Absolute
The enzyme will act only on molecule that have a specific functional group, such as hydroxyl, amino, or phosphate group.
Group
The enzyme will act on a particular stereoisomer.
Stereochemical
The enzyme will act on a particular stereoisomer.
Stereochemical
The enzyme will act on a particular type of chemical bond, irrespective of the rest of the molecular structure.
Linkage
An enzyme composed only of protein (amino acid chains)
Simple Enzyme
Is an enzyme that has a nonprotein part in addition to a protein part.
Conjugated enzyme
Refers to the active enzyme with its nonprotein component
Holoenzyme
The enzyme without its nonprotein moiety or the protein part of the conjugates enzyme and is inactive
Apoenzyme
Small organic molecule
Coenzyme
