An enzyme is a

Biological catalyst

Enzymes speed up

Chemical reaction without being consumed by the reaction

Enzymes lower

The activation energy of a chemical reaction

Energy must be

Absorbed by the reactants in order to break bonds

If the reaction is

Exergonic, triangle G will be repaid with dividends because the new bonds release more energy than the energy invested in breaking the old bonds

An enzyme is specific in its

Reaction

Enzyme can

Catalyze only a particular substrate

Substrate

Is a substance upon which an enzyme acts

Lock and key hypothesis

Substrate attaches to the active site of an enzyme like a key fits to a lock. There is a rearrangement of the atoms in the substance.

Induced fit hypothesis

Attachment of the substrate to the active site of an enzyme induces structural changes in the enzymes, causing the substrate and the enzyme to fit more tightly. Rearrangement of the atoms in the substrate.

The conversion of the substrate to end product is catalyze for by the

Side chains (R groups) of a few of the amino acids that make up the active site.

Enzymes

Saturated if all its active sites are engaged by the substrate.

Entire enzyme

Holoenzyme

Enzyme is irreversibly inhibited

If the enzyme inhibitors bind covalently to it

competitive inhibition

two different substances, one is a normal substrate and the other is an inhibitor compete for the same active site on an enzyme. This enzyme cannot function if its active site is occupied by the inhibitor

noncompetitive inhibition

type if enzyme inhibition in which an inhibitor binds to a site best to the active site of an enzyme, and physically blocks the active site for the normal substrate

allosteric inhibition

in this type of inhibition, an enzyme which is constructed from two or more polypeptide subunits can occur in two conformations: active form and inactive form. Each polypeptide subunit has its own active site. The allosteric site is usually located where the subunits are joined. if a negative modulator (inhibitor) binds to the allosteric site of the enzyme which is in inactive form, the enzyme cannot change to an active form. The activity of the enzyme is thus inhibited.

end product inhibitor

aka negative feedback inhibition


the inhibition of an enzyme activity is due to the accumulation of end products. The enzyme that can be inhibited by an end product is called a regulatory enzyme. an example is the synthesis of isoleucine from threonine.(end product inhibition)
