Inhibitors
This type of inhibitor binds to the active site.
Competitive inhibitor
The availability of this directly affects how fast a reaction will go.
Substrate
The name of molecules that regulate enzymes allosterically.
Effector molecules
What flows through the electron transport chain?
Electrons
Term for the total free energy of a reaction
DeltaG
What type of inhibition is typically irreversible?
Noncompetitive inhibition
Kinases undergo covalent modification thanks to what functional group?
Phosphate group
Allosteric regulation affects maximal catalytic activity and what other variable?
Substrate affinity
Complex II does not contribute to this growing factor in the ETC.
Proton gradient
This term refers to the heat component of a reaction.
Enthalpy
What type of bonding is associated with irreversible inhibition?
Covalent bonding
Phosphorylases have the ability to perform their job without this molecule.
ATP
Enzymes affected by homotropic effectors can be said to have this property.
Cooperativity
This molecule is essential at helping pass electrons through complexes I, II, and III.
Fe-S
What is the term for putting an energy-releasing process with an energy-utilizing process?
Coupling
You can overcome competitive inhibition by adding more of this.
Substrate
In general, regulation of enzymes can affect these two properties.
Velocity and affinity (Vmax, V0, Km)
This is the term for the type of heterotropic regulation where a pathway's end product stops the activity of an enzyme.
Feedback inhibition
The first electron carrier in complex II.
FADH2
Spontaneous reactions involve this value, indicating a favorable process.
-DeltaG
What variable does competitive inhibition change?
Km
For enzymes occasionally used in cellular processes, cells will change this.
Rate of enzyme synthesis
This step is often the point in a pathway where enzymes are turned on and off.
Rate limiting step
This molecule is the final acceptor of electrons before passing them to complex IV.
Cytochrome c
ATP can be considered this type of molecule, relevant in coupled chemical reactions.
Common intermediate
