Q

When the substrate and a molecule of an enzyme joined together, there is
formation of what we call ______ or ____.

A

Enzyme-Substrate complex or ES complex

22
Q

After joining with the enzyme, the substrate will turn into a ___?

23
Q

the ability of an enzyme to
bind only one or few
substrates and thus catalyze
only a single reaction.

A

Enzyme specificity

24
Q

It is a type of model that does not adjust its own structure for the substrate to bind. There is a specific shape that must match the enzyme.

A

Lock-key model

25
It is a type of model that adjusts its own structure to "fit" its substrate.
Induced fit model

Lactase
27
___ are organic molecules and quite often bind loosely to the active site of an enzyme and aid in substrate recruitment
Coenzymes
28
__ are "helper molecules" and can be inorganic or organic in nature. These include metal ions and are often required to increase the rate of catalysis
Cofactors
29
An enzyme without its cofactors is known as _____?
apoenzyme
30
The complete catalytic active enzyme is known as ___?
holoenzyme
31
What are the three types of inhibitors?
Competitive, non-competitive and uncompetitive
32
The substrate is stopped in entering the enzymes’ active site or hinders the enzyme to catalyze. This is because of ?
Enzymatic inhibitors
33
