ENZYME STRUCTURE Flashcards
e is an enzyme composed only of protein (amino acid chains).
A simple enzyme
is an enzyme that has a nonprotein part in addition to a protein
part. By itself, neither the protein part nor the nonprotein portion of a conjugated enzyme has catalytic properties
conjugated enzyme
is the protein part of a conjugated enzyme. A
cofactor is the nonprotein part of a conjugated enzyme.
apoenzyme
is the biochemically active conjugated enzyme produced from an apoenzyme and a cofactor.
holoenzyme
is a small organic molecule that serves as a cofactor in a conjugated enzyme
coenzyme
Typical inorganic ion cofactors include
Zn2”, Mg2”, Mn2”, and Fe2
Enzymes undergo all the reactions of proteins, including
denaturation
A person
suffering from a high fever runs the risk of denaturing certain enzymes
(greater than 106!F
is an organic compound that acts as a catalyst for a biochemical reaction
