Document Summary

Most enzmes = protein (some are rna) An enzymes functionality depends on its abilty to maintan its shape - can be affected by temperature and ph. If the environment is too acidic or basic, it can denature, change the shape and can not function. Inhibitors - substancce that binds to enzyme and decreases its activty. Competive - competes with substrate for the active site. Non-competitve - binds to enzyme at allosteric (any other) site and causes the shape to change, making the enzyme unable to bind the substrate. Non-protein organic molecule that assists proteins in functioning. Enzyme"s purpose = speed up the reaction. An enzyme alters the activaon energy of a reaction, needed to initiate a chemical reaction. Pockets or clefts for substrate binding; where the substrate ts precisely. Is a precise t of substrate into the active site - shape is very important as the site is designed speci cally for the molecule being broken down.
