Lock and Key
Lock-and-key model is a model for enzyme-substrate interaction suggesting that the enzyme and the substrate possess specific complementary geometric shapes that fit exactly into one another.
Enzymes are highly specific. They must bind to a specific substrate before they can catalyze a chemical reaction
-
Induced Fit
Induced fit indicates a continuous change in the conformation and shape of an enzyme in response to substrate binding
-
Inhibitor
substances which bind to the enzyme with resulting loss of activity, without damaging the enzyme's protein structure.
Enzyme activity can be affected by a variety of factors, such as temperature, pH, and concentration.
Catabolism
The breaking down of organic or inorganic materials such as proteins, sugars, fatty acids, etc.
Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates are biomolecules comprising carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms.
They are sugars, starch and fibres found in fruits and vegetables.
Glycolysis
the process of breaking down a glucose molecule into two pyruvate molecules, while storing energy released during this process as ATP and NADH.
Fats and Proteins
Fats are used for energy after they are broken into fatty acids. Protein can also be used for energy, but the first job is to help with making hormones, muscle, and other proteins.
Anabolism
the sequences of enzyme-catalyzed reactions by which relatively complex molecules are formed in living cells from nutrients with relatively simple structures.
Photosynthesis
Photosynthesis is an anabolic process during which plants use energy from sunlight to convert carbon dioxide gas and water into sugar molecules.
