26 Cards in this Set
- Front
- Back
Proximity effect |
Bring substrate(s) and catalytic sites together |
|
Orientation effect |
Hold substrate(s) at the exact distance and in exact orientation necessary for reaction |
|
Catalytic effect |
Provide acidic, basic, or other types of groups required for catalysis |
|
Energy effect |
Lower the energy barrier by inducing strain in bonds in the substrate molecule |
|
Oxidoreductase |
Oxidation-reduction reactions; requires coenzymes |
|
Transferases |
Transfer of functional groups |
|
Hydrolases |
Hydrolysis reactions; important for digestion |
|
Isomerases |
Isomerization of substrate; some metabolic pathways a molecule must be rearranged for the next step to occur |
|
Lyases |
Group elimination to form double bond or addition to a double bond (to break) |
|
Ligases |
Bond formation coupled with ATP hydrolysis to provide energy (to tie together) |
|
Oxidases |
Addition of O2 to a substrate |
|
Reductases |
Reduction of a substrate |
|
Dehydrogenases |
Removal of two atoms to form a double bond |
|
Transaminases |
Transfer of amino group between substrates |
|
Kinases |
Transfer of a phosphoryl group between substrates |
|
Lipases |
Hydrolysis of ester groups in lipids |
|

|
Decarboxylases |
Replacement of a carboxyl group by a hydrogen |
|
Synthases |
Addition of small molecule to a double bond |
|
Synthetases |
Formation of bond between two substrates |
