Across
- 3. inhibition a method of metabolic control in which the end product of a metabolic pathway acts as an inhibitor of an enzyme within that pathway
- 6. the binding of a regulatory molecule to a protein at one site that affects the function of the protein at a different site
- 7. the reactant on which an enzyme works
- 9. a process by which a chemical agent called a catalyst selectively increases the rate of a reaction without being consumed by the reaction
Down
- 1. the specific region of an enzyme that binds the substrate and that forms the pocket in which catalysis occurs
- 2. a kind of allosteric regulation whereby a shape change in one subunit of a protein caused by substrate binding is transmitted to all the other subunits, facilitating binding of additional substrate molecules to those subunits
- 4. a macromolecule serving as a catalyst, a chemical agent that increases the rate of a reaction without being consumed by the reaction
- 5. a chemical agent that selectively increases the rate of a reaction without being consumed by the reaction
- 6. the amount of energy that reactants must absorb before a chemical reaction will start; also called free energy of activation
- 8. a temporary complex formed when an enzyme binds to its substrate molecule(s)
