Many proteins are enzymes Flashcards
1
Q
Enzyme Role
A
Lowers the activation energy of the reaction it catalyses
2
Q
Induced-fit model
A
A substrate binds to an active site and both change shape slightly, creating an ideal fit for catalysis
3
Q
Enzymes and Substrates form an
A
Enzyme-substrate complex
4
Q
Factors on the rate of enzyme-controlled reactions
A
Enzyme concentration, substrate concentration, concentration of competitive and of non-competitive inhibitors, pH and temperature.
5
Q
Lock & Key model
A
Active site of an enzyme is structured to fit a specifically shaped substrate
Once the substrate binds to the active site, the enzyme will facilitate the reaction and release products of the reaction
