Across
- 1. A measure of how acidic or basic something is on a scale of 1-14 with 1 being most acidic, 7 being neutral, and 14 being most basic
- 5. An enzyme that is attached to an inert, insoluble substance. Can provide increased resistance to changes in conditions
- 8. The reaction product inhibits the enzyme activity
- 10. The inhibitor binds to the enzyme's active site and prevents the substrate from binding, stops the reaction from happening
- 12. The minimum energy required to allow a certain chemical reaction to occur
- 14. A molecule which speeds up a chemical reaction
- 16. Protein molecules that act as biological catalysts
- 17. To alter the structure of a protein by breaking bonds
- 18. Operating outside of the cell
- 20. An enzyme inhibitor which does not prevent the enzyme from functioning properly permanently
Down
- 1. What is left after the enzyme binds with the substrate
- 2. A process that uses the conditions of one component to regulate the function of the other. It is done to either increase or dampen the change in the system.
- 3. The temperature at which any specific reaction or process is best carried out
- 4. To prevent an enzyme from working in the normal manner
- 5. The binding of a substrate or some other molecule to an enzyme causes a change in the shape of the enzyme so as to enhance or inhibit its activity
- 6. The substance on which an enzyme acts
- 7. Something which prevents an enzyme from working in the normal manner
- 9. A region on an enzyme that binds to a protein or other substance during a reaction.
- 11. Operating within the cell
- 13. The maximum rate of reaction when the enzyme is saturated with substrate
- 15. The number of chemical conversions of the substrate molecules per second at a catalytic site for a given enzyme concentration
- 19. The pH level at which a specific enzyme can work most effectively
