enzyme action Flashcards
1
Q
What are enzymes
A
Enzymes are catalysts lowering activation energy
2
Q
What are the number of conditions for a reaction to take places
A
Must collide with sufficient energy
The free energy must be less that that if the the substrate
Many reactions require an initial amount of energy to start
3
Q
What is an enzymes structure
A
have a specific 3D structure is also has a specific region know as the active site and has a small number of amino acids
4
Q
Where does the enzyme act on
A
The substrate
5
Q
What is the induced fit model
A
The induced fit model mean that the substrate molecule binds the active site of the enzyme which molds itself slightly to fit the enzyme
