Exp. 3_ Enzymes Flashcards
are substances that act as a catalyst for biochemical reactions by finding a pathway which has lower activation energy.
Enzymes
Enzymes are substances that act as a_______ for biochemical reactions by finding a pathway which has lower activation energy.
catalyst
Each enzyme has an ________ where the chemical reactions occur.
active site
The reactant of the said chemical reaction is called______.
substrate
One amazing property of enzymes is its________; it only acts to a specific substrate or group of substrates.
high specificity
is an enzyme that oxidizes group of alcohols to aldehyde to carboxylic acid.
alcohol dehydrogenase
enzyme like_______ is only specific for the substrate lactose that breaks it to glucose and galactose.
lactase
In this experiment, you will experience the action of some enzymes to its specific_____.
substrate
are hydrolytic enzymes, which catalyze the hydrolysis reaction by adding water to cleave the bond and hydrolyze it.
Hydrolases
Some common examples of hydrolase enzymes are_______including lipases, phosphatases, glycosidases, peptidases, and nucleosidases.
esterases
catalyzes the oxidation reaction where the electrons tend to travel from one form of a molecule to the other.
Oxidoreductases
Oxidoreductases examples are
alcohol oxidoreductases and aldo-keto reductases.
Adds water, carbon dioxide or ammonia across double bonds or eliminate these to create double bonds.
Lyases
examples of lyase include
phenylalanine ammonia-lyase
citrate lyase
isocitrate lyase
hydroxynitrile
pectate lyase
argininosuccinate lyase
pyruvate formate lyase
alginate lyase
pectin lyase.
