What is an Enzyme
a catalyst
what does a catalyst do
increases reaction rate
how does denaturation felt the function of an enzyme
changes the shape of the active site so the enzyme can no longer function
how does increased substrate concentration affect reaction rate
increases reaction rate, direct correlation
how does temperature effect reaction rate
increases from 0 degrees C until 40 degrees C then decreases until 80 degrees C
how can an enzyme be turned on
activaters/ cofactors
how can an enzyme be turned off
inhibitors
difference between competitive and noncompetitive inhibitors
noncompetitive, attach to different part of enzymeme and change shape of active site, competetive take over active site so substrate cannot attach
what is a substrate
reactant that binds to enzyme
what is an Active site
where the substrate attaches to the enzyme
Dehydration synthesis
binding
