Term

(proteins)enzyme

 

Definition

Term
catalyst
Definition
a substance that accelerates a chemical reactions w/out itself being affected
Term
substrate
Definition
a reactant molecule with hich the enzyme combines
Term
enzyme-substrate-complex
Definition
a temporary molecule formed when an enzyme attaches itself to a substrate molecule
Term
binding site
Definition
a specific point on the surface of the enzyme where it can physically attach itself to the substrate
Term
active site
Definition
 the place on the enzyme that causes the substrate to change
Term
naming enzymes
Definition
the 1st part of the name is usually the molecule to which it can attach. the 2nd part is the type of reaction it facilitates. the part "ase" indicates it is an enzyme
Term
aminase
Definition
enzyme responsible for breaking the bond that attaches the amino group to something else
Term
deaminase
Definition
class of enzymes that take an amino group off of an amino acid
Term
polymerase
Definition
enzyme that catalyzes the polymeration of deoxyribonucleotides into a DNA strand (making many chains)
Term
synthetase
Definition
enzyme that catalyzes the linking together of two molecules especially by using the energy derived from the concurrent splitting off of a phosphate group from a triphosphate
Term

(precursers for many coenzymes)

Definition
the coenzymes we need. play a role in regulating gene action. a group of unrelated molecules used in making certain coenzymes. needed in the body but not manufatured by the body
Term
turnover number
Definition
the # of molecules of substrate with which a single molecule of enzyme can react in a given time
Term
how does the environment affect enzyme action
Definition
each enzyme has ideal condition which include temperature, pH, substrate concertration
Term
temperature
Definition
 the molecules are moving about quicker so that there's a greater chance of substrate molecules coming into contact with the active site of the enzyme. But too high of a temperature will cause proteins to denature, or to essentially fall apart due to kinetic energy overcoming the strength of the molecular bonds holding the enzyme together.
Term
pH
Definition
pH affects acidic or alkiline R-groups that make up the enzyme, depending upon the R-groups, pH can cause enzyme to perform better or worse. Often enzyme function lies within a specific range of pH values. If the enzyme is placed outside of the range, then the protein will denature or lose its function due to reactions of the R-groups with the solution, causing a change in configuration of the protein.
Term
enzyme-SUBSTRATE concentration

when there are huge #s of subtrate molecules it may happen that all enzymes present may be occupied by subtrate molecules
Term
enzyme competition
Definition
results whenever there are sveral kinds of enzymes available to combine w/ the same kind of substrate molecule

coordination ensures that reactions happen in the correct order.

regulations ensures that reaction happens at the rate and controls the amount of product that is being made.

electron transport
Definition
because electrons of an atom are on its exterior the electrons on the outter energy level can be lost more easily to the surrounding particularly if they receive additional ebnergy and move to a higher energy level. when they fall back to their originak position they give up that energy. this activity takes place whenever electrons gain or lose energy
