Exp. 4 Flashcards
- are known to catalyze a lot of biochemical reactions.
Enzymes
Some_____ can increase the reaction rate many million times faster than without a catalyst.
enzymes
OMP
orotidylate decarboxylase
orotidylate decarboxylase, catalyzing_____ times faster than uncatalyzed reaction.
1017
orotidylate decarboxylase, catalyzing 1017 times faster than uncatalyzed reaction. This means that reaction that would take 78 million years will only take______milliseconds with the enzyme OMP.

Enzymes are mostly
globular proteins
Some are___ proteins; some are____ proteins.
simple
conjugated
Their action on the substrate can be controlled by adjusting the (4)
temperature, pH, or substrate or enzyme’s concentration.
since enzymes are proteins, they are also affected by agents that causes them to undergo______.
denaturation
