Question | Answer |
---|---|
apoenzyme | protein component of an enzyme |
cofactor | nonprotein component of an enzyme |
prosthetic group | firmly attached |
coenzyme | loosely attached |
holoenzyme | apoenzyme + cofactor |
a typical exergonic reaction | A + B → ABt → C + D |
transition-state complex | resembles both the substrates and the products |
enzyme speeds up reaction by | lowering Ea |
activation energy | energy required to form transition-state complex |
lock-and-key model: | only the substrate (key) fits into the active site (key hole) of the enzyme (lock) |
induced-fit model: | only the proper substrate is capable of inducing the proper alignment of the active site for the enzyme to perform its catalytic function |
how enzymes lower Ea: By increasing | concentrations of substrates at active site of enzyme |
how enzymes lower Ea: By orienting substrates | properly with respect to each other in order to form the transition-state complex |
isoenzymes | different enzymes that catalyze same reaction |
each end product regulates the initial | pacemaker enzyme |
each end product regulates its own | branch of the pathway |
feedback inhibition | also called end product inhibition |
inhibition of one or more critical enzymes in a pathway regulates | entire pathway |
pacemaker enzyme | catalyzes the slowest or rate-limiting reaction in the pathway |
