Enzyme classification that catalyze the transfer of a chemical group other than hydrogen from one substrate to another
Transferases
33
Enzyme classification that catalyze hydrolysis or splitting of a bond by the addition of water (hydrolytic reactions)
Hydrolases
34
Enzyme classification that catalyze removal of groups from substrates without hydrolysis. The product contains double bonds

37
General property of enzyme that is a water-free cavity, where the substrate interacts with particular charged amino acid residues; a 3-dimensional protein structure
Active site
38
A cavity other than the active site that may bind regulator molecules
Allosteric site
39
When bound tightly to the enzyme, the coenzyme is called what?
Prosthetic group
40
Apoenzyme + prosthetic group =
Holoenzyme
41
Digestive enzymes in its inactive form originally secreted from the organ of production is called
Proenzyme or zymogen
42
Theory that is based on the premise that the shape of the key (substrate) must fit into the lock (enzyme)
Emil Fisher's Lock and Key Theory
43
Theory based on the substrate binding to the active site of the enzyme
Kochland's Induced Fit Theory
44
An enzyme combines with only one substrate and catalyzes only one action
Absolute specificity
45
Enzymes combine with all the substrates in a chemical group
Group Specificity
46
Enzymes reacting with specific chemical bonds
Bond specificity
47
The reaction rate depends only on enzyme concentration
Zero-order reaction
48
The reaction rate is directly proportional to substrate concentration
First-order reaction
49
A general method where the reactants are combined, reaction proceeds for a designated time, the reaction is stopped and measurement is made
Fixed-Time
50
General method where multiple measurements of changed in absorbance are made during the reaction; it is preferred than fixed-time
Continuous monitoring/kinetic assay
