|
enzyme |
proteins that act as organic catalysts |
|
|
catalysts |
speed up reactions by lowering the energy needed for the reaction to take place |
|
|
substrates |
substances that enzymes act on |
|
|
the part of the enzyme that interacts with the substrate is called… |
active site |
|
|
what are the four things the effectiveness of an enzyme can be affected by: |
1. the temperature 2. the pH 3. the concentration of the substrate involved 4. the concentration of the enzyme involved |
|
|
what is the difference between non/competitive inhibition? |
1. competitive: an inhibitor molecule resembling the substrate binds to the active site and blocks the substrate from attaching (physically) 2. non competitive: an inhibitor binds to a different part of the enzyme and changes the shape of the active site so it can no longer interact |
