-By heating reactants, enzymes lower activation energy
2 of 11
What happens when a substrate fits with an active site?
-Enzyme substrate complex forms, bonds form between the amino acids of enzyme and parts of substrate Enzyme product complex forms + no longer fis active site..
3 of 11
What is catabolism and anabolism?
catabolism- breakdown of molecules Anabolism- buildup of molecules
4 of 11
What are the two types f enzyme action?
Lock+key and induced fit
5 of 11
Descibe the lock and key model
-substrate has a complimentary shape to enzyme active site
6 of 11
Describe the induced fit model
-active site moulds itself around substrate, enzyme breaks bonds and lowers activation energy, products released are different shapes
7 of 11
What are enzymes and what tye of protein are they?
-biological cataysts , globular proteins
8 of 11
What are cofactors?
-non-proteins substances enzymes need to function
9 of 11
What is a prosthetic group
- protein group eg. haem group
10 of 11
What is a co-enzyme?
-non-protein necessary for enzyme action, not permenantly attached
