An enzyme's active site is permanently distorted by the irreversible breaking of hydrogen bonds, preventing substrate binding and reducing the rate of reaction

Card 9
Front
A molecule or ion that reduces the rate of an enzyme-controlled reaction
Back
Card 10
Front
Reduction of the rate of an enzyme-controlled reaction by a molecule or ion that has a complementary shape to the active site, similar to the substrate, and binds to the active site, preventing the substrate from binding
Back
Card 11
Front
Reduction of the rate of an enzyme-controlled reaction by a molecule or ion that binds to the enzyme somewhere other than the active site (allosteric site) , altering the shape of the active site so that the substrate cannot bind
Back
Card 12
Front
Enzyme molecules bound to an inert material, over which the substrate molecules move

Card 13
Front
A device that combines a biomolecule, such as an enzyme, with a transducer, to produce an electrical signal which measures the concentration of a chemical
