|
Active site |
The space where substrate fits into enzyme and eventually creates product |
|
|
Allosteric inhibitor |
A non competitive inhibitor enters allosteric site and disrupts the bonds, changing the active site, substrate can’t fit no longer |
|
|
Apoenzyme |
A protein part of enzyme |
|
|
Catalyst |
Speed up reactions |
|
|
Co-enzyme |
Organic complexes, containing vitamins that assist enzyme function |
|
|
Co-factor |
Substance that assist enzyme reactions, include metal ions activators |
|
|
Competitive inhibition |
A competitive inhibitor takes spot of active site, therefore substrate cannot enter active side anymore |
|
|
Homeostasis |
Set of processes that function to maintain a constant internal environment |
|
|
Lock and key |
Substrate fits perfectly into enzymes active site |
|
|
Metabolic pathway |
Products are formed after a series of reactions that occur |
|
|
Metabolism |
Sum of all reactions in your cells |
|
|
Substrate |
Reactant in enzymatic reaction |
