3D structure of protein. Only binds to particular substrates
What is substrate specificity?
Inhibitor does not bind to the active and causes active site to change shape.
What is Noncompetitive Inhibition?
The reactant on which an enzyme works.
What is a substrate?
Area on an enzume away from the active site.
What is the allosteric site?
The specific region of an enzyme that binds the substrate and that forms the pocket in which catalysis occurs.
What is the active site?
Binds in a way that stabilizes the active form
What is an allosteric activator?
Every energy transformation increases entropy
What is the second law of thermodynamics?
What is ATP?
Organic cofactors
What are coenzymes?
What is an allosteric inhibitor?
Substances that are usually inorganic and bind to the enzyme
What are cofactors?
A method of metabolic control in which the end product of a metabolic pathway acts as an inhibitor of an enzyme within that pathway.
What is feedback inhibition?
