firmly attached cofactor
Prosthetic group
acted on my enzyme; goes in active site
substrate
binds to regulatory site causes enzyme to stop functioning
negative effector
loosely attached cofactor
coenzyme
created in chemical reaction
product
binds to regulatory site causes enzyme to function
positive effector
where the substrate fits
active site
protein part of enzyme
apoenzyme
where the effector molecule binds like a keyhole
Regulatory site
stops enzyme by binding to spot other than the active site
non-competitive inhibitor
non protein part of enzyme
cofactor
stops enzyme by going in active site
Competitive inhibitor
