Enzyme Binding Factors exam Flashcards

A specific region of an enzyme where the substrate binds.

It is the complex formed when a substrate binds to the active site of an enzyme, abbreviated as ES.

Non-protein substances required by some enzymes for catalysis.

The enzyme remains unchanged and can catalyze further reactions.

Organic molecule cofactors derived from vitamins.

They assist in catalysis, often by enhancing substrate binding.

A protein that catalyzes chemical reactions without being consumed.

ES

A type of cofactor that is not made of amino acids.

It binds the substrate to form the enzyme-substrate complex.

The reactant that an enzyme acts upon.

A specific type of cofactor that is an organic molecule.

The substances formed from the substrate after catalysis.

By binding to the active site and making it better suited for the substrate.

The process by which an enzyme converts substrates into products.

They enhance substrate binding and ensure effective enzyme activity.

Cofactors required by some enzymes for catalysis.

They are not consumed and remain unchanged.

Series of chemical reactions in a cell, facilitated by enzymes.

It allows the enzyme to catalyze multiple reactions repeatedly.

Nutrient sources from which coenzymes are derived.

P

The intermediate formed when a substrate binds to an enzyme's active site.

They assist in enzyme catalysis without being part of the protein structure.

The acceleration of a chemical reaction by a catalyst.

It is where the substrate binds and the reaction is facilitated.

The ability of an enzyme to catalyze reactions, often influenced by cofactors.

The substances formed from the substrate, abbreviated as P.

The process of a substrate attaching to the enzyme's active site.
