enzyme kinetics Flashcards
1
Q
What properties distinguish enzymes (biological catalysts) from chemical catalysts?
A
Higher rates of reactions, milder reaction conditions, specificity, regulation
2
Q
Describe how enzymes are classified
A
3
Q
What is the significance of cofactors in enzymatic reactions?
A
Some enzymes need assistance of metal ions/organic coenzymes esp for redox reactions
and group transfer, coenzymes chemically changed but revert to original state
