1. Enzyme Modes of Action

Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Enzyme modes of action: The specific ways enzymes facilitate biochemical reactions by lowering activation energy, primarily through the formation of an enzyme-substrate complex. (implied from context)

  • Enzyme-substrate complex: An intermediate formed when the substrate binds to the enzyme's active site, enabling the reaction to proceed more efficiently. (implied from context)

  • Lock-and-key model: A hypothesis describing enzyme action where the enzyme's active site and the substrate have complementary shapes, fitting together perfectly without change in enzyme structure. (hypothesized as a model of enzyme-substrate interaction)

  • Induced fit model: A hypothesis proposing that the binding of substrate induces a conformational change in the enzyme, resulting in a better fit between enzyme and substrate, thus facilitating the reaction. (hypothesized as a model of enzyme-substrate interaction)
