EXERCISE 6 Flashcards
special protein molecules designed to catalyze or speed up the rate of a biochemical reaction
ENZYMES
ENZYMES
____ specific reactions regulated by competitive and noncompetitive inhibitors and/or allosteric molecules
accelerate
ENZYMES
one of the primary biological functions of multiple enzymes through a series of consecutive reactions or known as pathways
breaking down of complex molecules
ENZYMES
a series of consecutive reacions is also known as
pathways
ENZYMES
enzymes ____ the activation energy requried for a chemical reaction to occur thereby speeding up the process of the reaction
lower
enzymes are made up of
proteins
ENZYMES
molecules called as ____ as formed when enzymes bind to its specific substrate; this points that most enzymes catalyze one specific reaction efficiently
products
ENZYMES
most enzymes catalyze how many reaction efficiently
one specific reaction
ENZYMES
some multipart enzyme complexes catalyze as series of ____ – successive enzyme-substrate complexes or products are formed throughout the series of biological reactions
step-by-step reactions
these are generally responsible for numerous vital reactions within the body
enzymes
ENZYMES
some enzyme proteins are covalently modified by ____, ____, and other similar processes, and the regulation of enzyme activity are largely affected by these alterations
phosphorylation, glycosylation
ENZYMES
the molecule that reacts with the compound is called
substrate
ENZYMES
enzyme + substrate =
enzyme-substrate complex
ES complex
ENZYMES
a specific reactant acted upon by the enzyme
substrate
ENZYMES
substance formed when substrate binds to an eznyme
product
ENZYMES
non-protein molecule (Fe²+, Mg²+, Mn²+, Zn²+) required for proper functioning of enzyme
cofactor
ENZYMES
organic or metalloorganic molecule that acts as transiet carriers of specific functional groups
