Proteins - Enzyme activity and inhibition

3 important questions on Proteins - Enzyme activity and inhibition

What is the function of active site in proteins?

Active site domain allows enzymes to speed up the rate of the biochemical reaction that they are involved in
  • it lowers the activation energy of reactions

Explain the requirements of reaction to run

Only if ΔG < 0
  1. nature of reactants
    • Greaction = Gproduct - Gsubstrate
  2. concentration of reactants

What is the Michaelis menten?

  • High Km = low affiniteit
  • If you put more substrate (wood), you will get more energy (heat)

The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:

  • A unique study and practice tool
  • Never study anything twice again
  • Get the grades you hope for
  • 100% sure, 100% understanding
