Enzyme Action Flashcards
1
Q
Read!!
A
Enzyme-catalyzed reaction starts in substrate binding to the enzyme’s active site to form a complex.
2
Q
The part of the enzyme where the substrate binds?
It composed of certain amino acids that is important to enzymatic activity.
A
Active site
3
Q
2 Models of Enzyme Action
A
- Lock-and-Key Model
2. Induced-Fit Model
4
Q
Explain Lock-and-Key Model
A
Enzyme is a lock and substrate is a key. The Active site of Enzyme is exact to the substrate to form Enzyme-substrate complex.
You can’t open the padlock without it’s key.
5
Q
Explain Induced-Fit Model
A
Enzyme and the substrate is have a different shape but then the substrate forces to fit in enzymes and forming a enzyme-substrate complex.
