Q

Active Site

A

Catalytic site, binding site of substrate, associates with substrate via non-covalent bonds (hydrogen bonds or sometimes ionic)

17
Q

Catalysis

A

Substrate is converted into products

18
Q

Induced Fit Model

A

Slight change to enzyme shape to accommodate substrate, “hand-shake” model

19
Q

Exogenous Inhibition

A

Inhibitors come from outside of cell

20
Q

Competitive Inhibitors

A

Inhibitors which bind the active site but do not participate in a reaction, can be out-competed by increasing concentration of substrate

21
Q

Non-competitive Inhibitors

A

Inhibitors which bind a site that is not the active site (allosteric site), illicites a change in shape which blocks enzyme activity
