vocabulary
This is the name of the substance that an enzyme catalyzes
substrate
The Lock and Key model best represent the connection between two or more these
What are enzymes and substrates
This is a word for a chain of amino acids
What is a polypeptide
This is a term used to describe the amount of enzymes and substrates in a mixture
What is enzyme/substrate concentration
This is what happens to the reaction rate of an enzyme as the enzyme concentration increases
What is increases
True or False: An enzyme can typically bond with multiple substrates
what is false
What is the name for the energy required to start a reaction
activation energy
This is a word for a spiral structure within a polypeptide
What is an alpha helix
This is the suffix that many enzymes tend to have
What is -ase
if this is increased too much, hydrogen bonds within the enzymes start to break
What is temperature
This is a word for water loving
hydrophilic
True or False: Enzymes are "used up" in chemical reactions
What is false
Alpha helices and beta pleated sheets are examples of this level of protein structure
secondary structure
Enzymes tend to start doing this if the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius
What is denature
This is a neutral pH
What is 7
This is the name for the area on an enzyme where a substrate will bind
What is an active site
These bond to enzymes so that they cannot use the substrates to carry out functionality
What are inhibitors
This is name for a molecule that binds to a site other than the active site of an enzyme and changes its shape and reactivity
What is a noncompetitive inhibitor
This is the name for the type of covalent bond between to amino acids
what is a peptide bond
This is a word for anything that speeds up chemical reactions
What is a catalyst
This is a name for the protein structure of a few folded polypeptides in their final form
What quaternary structure
Penicillin is this type of inhibitor
What is a competitive inhibitor
When pH is decreased, hydrogen ions interfere with this type of bonds within an enzyme
What are dissulfide bonds
