The reactant on which an enzyme works.
What is a substrate?
Inhibitor does not bind to the active and causes active site to change shape.
What is Noncompetitive Inhibition?
The specific region of an enzyme that binds the substrate and that forms the pocket in which catalysis occurs.
What is the active site?
Area on an enzume away from the active site.
What is the allosteric site?
Supplies a constant supply of energy for living things.
What is the Sun?
Organic cofactors
What are coenzymes?
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?
The form of energy the cell is able to use
What is ATP (free energy)?
The initial energy investment necessary to start a reaction and makes the chemical bonds in molecules unstable.
activation energy
What is an allosteric inhibitor?
A particular reaction has a ΔG of +30.5 kilojoules/mol. Is this reaction spontaneous?
No, it is not spontaneous, because it is endergonic.
After a substrate binds to an enzyme, the enzyme alters its shape slightly causing a tighter fit. This is called?
induced fit
The ability of an enzyme to select a specific substrate from a range of chemically similar compounds

What is enzyme specificity?
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?
