Across
- 2. Type of enzyme regulation where a small molecule, like Ca²⁺, binds reversibly to a regulatory site, altering the enzyme's activity
- 4. The molecule(s) produced as a result of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction
- 10. An enzyme in the stomach that breaks down proteins into smaller peptides
- 11. The characteristic of enzymes that ensures they only bind to specific substrates, like a lock and key
- 12. A small organic molecule, often derived from vitamins, that helps an enzyme catalyze a reaction
- 13. A biological molecule that accelerates the rate of a biochemical reaction by lowering the activation energy
- 14. A molecule that participates in a chemical reaction and is transformed into a product
- 18. The point where an enzyme is working at its maximum capacity because the active site is always occupied with substrate
- 20. Enzyme that synthesizes ATP in the mitochondria
Down
- 1. Enzyme that remove a phosphate group from a substrate in covalent modification
- 3. Enzymes are made of this biological molecule
- 5. An example of a cofactor that is a trace metal and helps in enzyme catalysis
- 6. Enzyme that add a phosphate group to a substrate in covalent modification
- 7. The official ending of most enzyme names
- 8. Enzyme that breaks down fats
- 9. A molecule that binds to a specific site on a protein, such as an enzyme or receptor, to trigger a response
- 15. The region on an enzyme where the substrate binds
- 16. The strength of the interaction between an enzyme and its substrate, determined by size, shape, and charge
- 17. A non-protein molecule, often a trace metal, that assists an enzyme in its catalytic activity
- 18. The molecule that binds to an enzyme's active site and is converted into a product during a chemical reaction
- 19. An enzyme that breaks down starch into simpler sugars
