BIO Enzymes

Protein: Enzymes

QuestionAnswer
Enzymes play an important role in (3) Metabolism Diagnosis Therapeutics
Enzymes are Special proteins that act as biological catalysts
Catalyst (define) Speeds up a chemical reaction
How do enzymes catalyze increases the rate of reaction by lowering the energy of activation
Are enymes altered or consumed during a reaction? No
Active site enzyme molecules special pocket or cleft
Substrate reactant in biochemical reaction what catches onto active sites
Apoenzyme without a non-protein moiety
Holoenzyme active enzyme with its non-protein component
Cofactor A non protein chemical compound that is loosely bound to an apoenzyme by non-covalent bond
Coenzyme a type of cofactor
Prosthetic group a type of cofactor
Examples of Enzymes Amylase Protease Lipase Lactase
Enzyme substrate reactions lock and key model induced fit model
lock and key model requires substrate and enzymes to fit exactly
induced fit model active site is flexible, they adjust to maximaze the fit
Three factors that affect enzyme activity Environemental conditions (temp, pH, substrate concentration) Cofactors and Coenzymes Enzyme Inhibitors
Environmental Conditions Temperature? What temp is best? Extremes are dangerous, 37 degc Optimum pH? Can some enzymes like acidic or basic conditions? 7(neutral), yes
Types of reactions Oxidoreductases Transferases Hydrolases Lyases Isomerases Ligases

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
