Class Work

4. the amount of substrate present that can be turned into product
5. Increasing enzyme concentration will speed up the reaction, as long as there is substrate available to bind to.
9. the minimum amount of extra energy required by a reacting molecule to get converted into product.
11. molecules which can be defines as biológica catalyst.
12. A molecule made up of amino acids.
13. a continuous change in the conformation and shape of an enzyme in response to substrate binding.
14. a specific type of enzyme inhibition characterized by an inhibitor binding to an allosteric site resulting in decreased efficacy of the enzyme.
15. the amount or degree of something that is most favorable to some end.

1. they are the reactants
2. the region of an enzyme where substrate molecules bind and undergo a chemical reaction.
3. A substance that blocks the action of an enzyme.
6. the pH resulting in maximal activity of a particular enzyme.
7. a model for enzyme-substrate interaction suggesting that the enzyme and the substrate possess specific complementary geometric shapes that fit exactly into one another.
8. process modifying the molecular structure of a protein.
10. occurs when molecules very similar to the substrate molecules bind to the active site and prevent binding of the actual substrate.
