Enzyme Binding Factors definitions Flashcards

A molecule that binds to an enzyme's active site, acting as the reactant in an enzyme-catalyzed reaction.

A temporary molecular structure formed when an enzyme binds to its substrate at the active site, facilitating a chemical reaction.

A specific region on an enzyme where the substrate binds, facilitating the formation of the enzyme-substrate complex and subsequent catalysis.

A temporary molecular complex formed when a substrate binds to an enzyme's active site, facilitating a chemical reaction.

The acceleration of a chemical reaction by a substance (enzyme) that remains unchanged after the reaction.

A substance that undergoes change during a chemical reaction, interacting with an enzyme at the active site to form an enzyme-substrate complex.

The molecules formed from the conversion of substrates by an enzyme during a biochemical reaction.

A non-protein molecule or ion required for an enzyme's activity, often aiding in catalysis by stabilizing the enzyme-substrate complex.

Organic non-protein molecules that bind to enzymes and assist in catalysis, often derived from vitamins.

Organic non-protein molecules that assist enzymes in catalysis, often functioning as coenzymes.
