enzymes Flashcards
1
Q
substrate
A
the reactants that bind to enzyme
2
Q
Active site
A
the place where the substrates bind to the enzyme
3
Q
When the substrates bind to the active site they form the
A
enzyme-substrate complex
4
Q
Allosteric site
A
a site on the enzyme other than the active site
5
Q
enzyme inhibition
A
competitive vs noncompetitive
6
Q
completitive inhibition
A
inhibitor binds to he active site; the substrate is unable to bind
7
Q
Non-competitive inhibition
A
the inhibitor molecule attaches to the allosteric site; this usually changes the shape of the active site so the substrate is unable to bind
