|
Enzymes |
Protein catalyst that have great specificity for reaction catalyze, molecule acted on and the products they yield |
|
|
Catalyst |
Substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction without being permanently altered itself |
|
|
Substrate |
Reacting molecules |
|
|
Products |
Substances that are formed |
|
|
Holoenzyme |
Complete enzyme with apoenzyme and cofactor |
|
|
Apoenzyme |
Protien component where the cofactor can attach |
|
|
Cofactor |
Non-protein component that can include metal ions and a variety of organic molecules Cofactor firmly attached to apoenzyme is called prosthetic group Loosely attached = coenzyme |
|
|
Competitive inhibitor |
Directly competes with the substrate at an enzyme's catalytic site and prevents from forming a product |
|
|
Noncompetitive inhibitors |
Bind to the enzyme at some location other than the active site, which alters the enzyme's shape making it less active to inactive |
