Protein type
Globular, metabolic function
-
Protein shape
Order of amino acids determines its shape and therefore function
-
Lock + key theory
Each enzyme has a different shape, within this shape there is an active site (held in shape with chemical bonds) and only one type of substrate fits into the active site
-
E + S, ESC, EPC, E + P
Enzyme and substrate, enzyme-substrate complex, Enzyme-product complex, enzyme + product
-
Anabolic
Building up molecules - protein synthesis
-
Catabolic
Breaking down molecules - digestion
-
Activation energy
Amount of energy needed to start a reaction
-
Where do enzymes work
Extracellular, Intracellular in the solution + intracellular membrane bound
-
Extracellular
Secreted from cells and catalyse extracellular reactions - salivary amylase is made in salivary glands but secreted down the salivary ducts to the mouth
-
Intracellular in the solution
Act in solutions in cells - enzymes catalyse the breakdown of glucose in glycolysis in cytoplasm, enzymes in the stroma that synthesise glucose
-
Intracellular membrane bound
On the cristae of mitochrondria and the grana of chloroplasts (transfer of electrons and hydrogen bonds in ATP formation)
