Enzymes
Lock & Key
The substrates fit into an enzyme the way a key fits into a lock
active site: where the substrate molecules binds and undergoes a chemical reaction
Coenzymes
assist enzymes in turning substrates into products
3 Examples
nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD)
nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP)
flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD)
foods that coenzymes are present in:
fatty fish like salmon, sardines, tuna
fruits and vegetables like oranges, broccoli, and cauliflower
organ meats like liver, heart, kidney
Substrate
an underlying substance or layer
"-ase"
examples: amylase, maltase, protease, lipase, lactase
are a type of catalyst which helps speed up chemical reactions
essential for digestion, growth, blood clotting, liver function, and much more
made in the pancreas
