The amount of energy (expressed in joules) that is needed to convert all the molecules in one mole of a reacting substance from a ground state to the transition state. The energy that an atomic system must acquire before a process (such as an emission or

Relating to biochemistry, characterised by, produced by or involving chemical reactions in living organisms.

A small molecule (not a protein but sometimes a vitamin) essential for the activity of some enzymes.A cofactor molecule that helps an enzyme catalyse a particular reaction by binding with it.

Competitive Inhibitor

inhibitor that occupies the active site of an enzyme or the binding Site of a receptor and prevents the normal substrate or ligand from binding.

Organic catalyst, usually a protein that speeds up a reaction in cells due to its particular shape.

A measure of the ability of an enzyme to catalyze a specific reaction.

The concentration of a specific enzyme in its environment.

A metal of relatively high density (specific gravity greater than about 5 or of high relative atomic weight.Any element with an atomic weight greater than twenty (twenty times the weight of hydrogen)

A model for enzyme-substrate interaction to describe that only the proper substrate is capable of inducing the proper alignment of the active site that will enable the enzyme to perform its catalytic function.

All the chemical changes that occur within a cell.

Non-competitive Inhibitor

Non-competitive inhibition is a type of enzyme inhibition where the inhibitor reduces the activity of the enzyme and binds equally well to the enzyme whether or not it has already bound the substrate.

A logarithmic measure of the concentration of hydrogen ions present in a substance

Substrate Concentration

The concentration of the substrate in a substance.

A gland in humans responsible for creating and releasing many enzymes.

he main hormone produced by the thyroid gland, acting to increase metabolic rate and so regulating growth and development.

any of a group of organic compounds which are essential for normal growth and nutrition and are required in small quantities in the diet because they cannot be synthesized by the body.
