FLASHCARDS: Topic 8.1 - Metabolism
Cards in this deck (10)
- 1Metabolic Pathwaysa sequence of small steps that form chemical reactions (can be a chain or cycle)
- 2Activation energythe amount of energy required to reach the transition stage from substrate into product
- 3Competitive inhibitorsinterfere with the active site, the enzyme is temporarily occupied
- 4Non-competitive inhibitorsbind at a location other than the active site, they change the shape of the enzyme
- 5Effect of competitive inhibitorit takes a higher concentration to reach the maximum rate, but it can get there
- 6Effect of non-competitive inhibitorthe enzyme doesn't reach the maximum rate of reaction because some enzymes cannot react (shape change) but it follows the same pattern as a uninhibited enzyme
- 7Graph of competitive, non-competitive, and uninhibited enzymes
- 8End-product inhibitionwhen the end product of the pathway acts as an inhibitor
- 9Allosteric interactionswhen enzymes regulated by chemical substances bind to special sites on the enzyme away from the active site
- 10Allosteric siteswhere allosteric interactions take place
