Across
- 5. A molecule acted upon by an enzyme.
- 6. Proteins that act as biological catalysts by accelerating chemical reactions
- 7. A thermodynamic process or reaction that releases energy from the system to its surroundings, usually in the form of heat
- 8. A molecule which can facilitate a chemical reaction without being consumed or changed.
- 9. A region especially of a biologically active protein (as an enzyme) where catalytic activity takes place and whose shape permits the binding only of a specific reactant molecule.
Down
- 1. The minimum energy required for a reaction to occur.
- 2. Describes a chemical reaction that absorbs energy (usually in the form of heat)
- 3. The unfolding or breaking up of a protein, modifying its standard three-dimensional structure.
- 4. A substance that enters into and is altered in the course of a chemical reaction
