Enzyme - Coggle Diagram

- - - - ex. some reactions may work better in an acidic enviornment, and enzyme will change shape to better facillitate the reaction as a catalyst
- - - - noncompetitive inhibitor attaches to different part of enzyme, which changes structure and inhibits enzyme from functioning properly (binds at allosteric site)
      - allosteric inhibition type of noncompetitive
        
        binds away from the active site, which decreases efficiency of binding by changing the shape of active site
        
        also allosteric activation, which also leads to structure change but increases the affinity of enzyme’s active site(s)
    - - feedback inhibition involves a cycle in which a reaction product can regulate the production after a certain limit is reached
    - - competitive inhibitor blocks the activation site, which prevents substrate from binding
  - - - most enzymes don’t work unless binded to other non-protein molecules
      - helper molecules known as cofactors and coenzymes
      - ex. DNA polymerase, the enzyme that builds dna molecules, requires a metal ion (cofactor) to function properly
      - vitamins are most common coenzyme
