Q

Cellular Metabolism

A

all the chem rxns that take place inside cells are part of cell metabolism. Enzyme catalysts speed up these chem rxns by lowering activation energy.
Each enzyme is able to control a single type of chem rxn, therefore if an enzyme is not active the entire pathway will stop working.

Q

Metabolic regulation- Inhibition

A

sometimes necessary to inhibit enzyme to reduce rxn rate. Competitive Inhibition- it binds to substrate Active Site to block enzyme.
Non- Competitive Inhibition- binds to enzyme at Allosteric Site, active site still available for binding but the inhibitor changes the shape so it’s no longer an effective catalyzer.
