Enzymes Concept Map : :
Enzymes
Are defined by...
A substance produced by a living organism that acts as a catalyst to bring about a specific biochemical reaction
How Enzymes are Named
-
EX: DNA Polymerase, Alcohol Dehydrogenase, Lactase

How Enzymes are Made
Developed from amino acids and are classified as proteins. Enzymes are made up of a string of 100-1,000 amino acids in a very specific and unique way. The strand is then folded into a shape associated with the enzyme.
Substrate
Is defined as...
A substance or layer that underlies something, or on which a process occurs; the substance on which an enzyme carries out reaction
Lock and Key Model
Is defined as...
Used to explain the relationship between a substrate and an enzyme. In this analogy, the lock refers to an enzyme while the key symbolizes the substrate.

-
The Induced Fit Model
Is defined as ...
When the active site on an enzyme makes contact with the proper substrate, the enzyme molds itself to the shape of the molecule
-
-
Co-Enzymes
Are defined as...
Molecules tasked with binding to an enzyme and assisting in a reaction. These can bind and react with many different enzymes.
