Enzymes Flashcards
Catalyst
A substance that enhances chemical reactions but is not altered by the reaction
Substances that are structurally similar to the substrate and will compete with the substrate for the enzye
Competitive inhibitor’s
Proteins that act as catalyst to accelerate chemical reactions within cells
Enzyme
A substance that An enzyme acts upon
Substrate
Substances that will interfere with the activity of the enzyme
Inhibitors
Enzymes that can perform catalytic activity without assistance from another substrate
Simple enzymes
Enzyme poisons or in activator such as heavy metals or halogen
Non-competitive inhibitor’s
Enzymes that require the presence Of a non-protein component to function
Conjugated enzymes
Non-protein components that conjugate with enzymes to carry out its function usually a metal
Cofactor
True or false all enzymes are found inside sales
True
True or false all enzymes are proteins and are affected by the same things that affect any other proteins
True
True or false each enzyme has multiple substrate it up acts upon
False Bitch
Transfer of electrons from one molecule to another
Oxidoreductases
Transfer is functional groups from one molecule to another
Transferases
Hydrolyzes a chemical bond
Hydrolases & lysases
Catalyzes the structural formation of isomers
Isomerases
