The amount of energy that is needed to convert all the molecules in one mole of a reacting substance from a ground state to the transition state.

The process in which two or more molecules interact, usually with the help of an enzyme, and produce a product.

A small molecule (not a protein but sometimes a vitamin) essential for the activity of some enzymes.

Competitive inhibitor

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

Large biological molecules responsible for the thousands of metabolic processes that sustain life. They are highly selective catalysts, greatly accelerating both the rate and specificity of metabolic reactions.

Enzymes converting subtracts into products.

The amount of the same type of enzymes.

A metal of relatively high density or of high relative atomic weight.

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.

The process involving a set of chemical reactions that modifies a molecule into another for storage, or for immediate use in another reaction or as a by product.

Non-competitive inhibitor

An inhibitory effect on a metabolic function, such as an enzyme, not based on competition for the binding site of the naturally occurring substrate, but on a different effect on the molecule whose function is being inhibited.

A measure to determine the acidity or alkalinity of a solution or a substance.

The substance acted upon by an enzyme.

Substrate concentration

The amount of the same substrate in a given place.

A gland that secretes the hormone thyroxine which controls the rate of metabolism.

Hormone produced by the thyroid glands to regulate metabolism by controlling the rate of oxidation in cells

An essential low molecular weight organic compound required in trace amounts for normal growth and metabolic processes. They usually serve as components of coenzyme systems.
