Enzymes
Denaturation
pH
temperature
Structure and the function of the enzyme irreversibly changes.
protein
monomers: amino acids
tertiary and quaternary structures
Models
Lock-Key Model
Substrate binds the active site and enzyme is activated (example: lactose (substrate), lactase (enzyme))
Induced fit model
Substrate binds to the active site and changes its shape and enzyme becomes active.
Inhibited by inhibitors
competitive
non-competitive
Activated by:
Coenzymes
vitamins-organic
Cofactors
minerals-inorganic
Factors Affecting enzymes:
Biological catalysts that speed up the reaction and reduce the activation energy
