enzymology (1) Flashcards
it is highly specialized proteins
Enzymes
it is serves as catalyst
Enzymes
enzyme contains what?
active site and allosteric site
region within an enzyme where the substrate fits in
Active site
site other than the active site
Allosteric Site
reactants that are activated by enzymes
Substrate
rate is directly proportional to substrate concentration
First order kinetics
plateau is reached, depends only on enzyme concentration
Zero order kinetics
when maximum velocity is reached, the rate of increase in velocity is
zero
for each 10 degrees celcius, rate of reaction is
doubled
it is the optimal temperature
37
denaturation of protein
40 - 50
enzyme is destroyed totally
60 - 65
nonprotein molecules, activation of enzymes
cofactors
organic factors
coenzymes
