Enzyme Kinetics

Enzyme Kinetics

1. substrates

   • compound acted upon by the enzyme

2. product

   • compound formed by the enzyme reaction

3. enzyme-substrate complex

   • physical assosiation of the enzyme with the substrate
   • facilitates the reaction

4. enzymes

   • proteins that catalyze the reaction
   • have active sites
   • changes the chemistry of of the substrate
     • creates the products
   • changes free energy of the transition state
