(9 cards)
_______ are RNA molecules with enzymatic activity.
Catalytic behaviour of any enzyme depends upon its ____,___,___,___
Enzymes of the digestive tract and those found in blood are present in inactive form called ____ or ____
Ribozymes
primary, secondary, tertiary, or quaternary structures
zymogen or proenzymes
An ______ is a region on the surface of an enzyme to which substrates will bind and catalyses a chemical reaction.
active site
Some enzyme require non protein molecule for their activity. So enzymes are conjugated proteins known as
Holoenzyme
Enzyme without non protein part is inactive and called
apoenzyme
cofactors can either be ___ or ___
inorganic or organic compounds
Study of reaction rate and how they changes in response to change in experimental parameter is known as _____.
Enzyme Kinetics
Kinetics
Types of enzyme inhibition
Reversible inhibitors
Irreversible inhibitors
reversible inhibitors can be classified into
Competitive
Non-competitive
Un-competitive
Binds only to the enzyme-substrate complex.
Does not have the capacity to bind to the
free enzyme.
Not overcome by increasing substrate concentration.
Both the Km and Vmax are reduced.
Un-competitive inhibition
