Enzyme Binding Factors definitions Flashcards

A specific region on an enzyme where the substrate binds, forming the enzyme-substrate complex.

A temporary molecule formed when an enzyme binds to its substrate at the active site.

Non-protein substances required by some enzymes for catalysis, not consumed in the reaction.

Organic molecule cofactors, often derived from vitamins, assisting in enzyme catalysis.

Inorganic cofactors that assist enzymes in catalysis, not made of amino acids.

The acceleration of a chemical reaction by a catalyst, such as an enzyme.

The reactant molecule that binds to an enzyme's active site to form the enzyme-substrate complex.

Molecules formed from the substrate after enzyme catalysis, released from the active site.

A protein that catalyzes chemical reactions, remaining unchanged after the reaction.

Compounds containing carbon and hydrogen, such as coenzymes, assisting in enzyme function.
