Document Summary
4. 1 enzymes as catalysts: enzymes: a class of proteins (exception ribozymes are made of rna) that serve as biological catalysts that. Induced-fit model: the enzyme undergoes a slight structural change to better fit the substrate; yields products: naming of enzymes, have the suffix -ase, the names of many enzymes specific both the substrate and the job category ex. Lactic acid dehydrogenase removes hydrogens from lactic acid. 4. 2 control of enzyme activity: measured by the rate at which substrate is converted to product. Influenced by: temperature, ph, concentration of cofactors and coenzymes, concentration of enzyme and substrate, possible stimulatory or inhibitory effects of products of enzyme function. Enzyme carbonic anhydrase: metabolic pathways: begins with an intial substrate, progresses through a number of intermediates, and ends with a final product error of. Albinism: dopa is a precursor for melanin; results from an inherited defect in the enzyme that catalyzes the formation of melanin from dopa: ex.
