19
Q

Fit between the substrate and the active site of the enzyme is exact

A

The Lock and Key Hypothesis

20
Q

This explains the loss of activity when

enzymes denature

A

The Lock and Key Hypothesis

21
Q

When a substrate combines with an enzyme, it induces a change in the enzyme’s conformation

A

The Induced Fit Hypothesis

22
Q

This explains the enzymes that can react with a range

of substrates of similar types

A

The Induced Fit Hypothesis

23
Q

Factors affecting enzymes

A

substrate concentration
pH
temperature
inhibitors

24
Q

chemicals that reduce the rate of

enzymic reactions?

A

Inhibitors

25
Combine with the | functional groups of the amino acids in the active site, irreversibly.
Irreversible inhibitors
26
These can be washed out of the solution of enzyme by dialysis
Reversible inhibitors
27
These compete with the substrate molecules for the active site.
Competitive
28
``` These are not influenced by the concentration of the substrate. It inhibits by binding irreversibly to the enzyme but not at the active site ```
Non-competitive
