enzyme

Question 1

characteristics of enzyme

Answer 1

1. biological catalyst that speeds up ROR
2. by providing an alternative pathway with lower Ea
3. remain chemically unchanged at the end of the reaction
4. effective in small amt -> able to be reused

Question 2

explain lock and key hypothesis.

Answer 2

1. substrate complementary C&C to specific* enzyme active site
2. bind to from ESC
3. upon catalysis, products will no longer fit AS & leave

Question 3

what is the process of induced-fit55

Answer 3

1. AS of enzyme is initially not a perfect fit for substrate
2. substrate bind to AS & induce a conformational change in AS
3. AS has a more precise site for substrate
4. better perform catalytic function
