Enzymes and Substrates
- a substrates is a molecule upon which an enzyme acts
Enzymes interact with specific substrates because of how they complement one another
Enzyme Action
- produced by a living organism which acts as a catalyst to bring specific biochemical reactions
Both the lock and key model and induced fit model describe the interaction between enzymes and substrates - showing how it is important for them to fit between them
Importance of Enzymes and Active Sites
- an enzyme is essential for digestion, liver function, and many other functions, active sites are important because bind to certain substrates for specific reactions
The catalytic activity of enzymes is crucial for biochemical reactions and the specificity of active sites enzures that enzymes only interact iwth specific substances
Naming and Function
- are named by adding the suffix ase to the root name of the substrate molecule they will be acting upon
Names the enzymes usually are related to their function showing the type of reaction the catalyze will preform
