Summary Introduction

Introduction:

Enzymes are biomolecules that are regarded as similar to the catalyst in inorganic chemical reactions. Just like catalysts regulate the speed of inorganic reactions, in a similar way, enzymes regulate the speed of a biological reaction by lowering the barrier of activation energy. This is the reason due to which enzymes are called biocatalysts.

Students have asked these similar questions
Which ONE of the following would be most effective as a feedback mechanism for anenzymatic reaction? A. Reduced concentration of the product B. A change in pH C. Increased concentration of substrate D. Temporary binding of a non-substrate molecule in the active binding site
All of the following increase enzymatic activity except a. an increase in temperature. b. an increase in pH. c. an increase in concentration of the substrate. d. an increase in concentration of the enzyme that catalyzes the reaction.
A small molecule is produced from a set of enzymatic reactions from a precursor substrate. It has been shown that the small molecule is able to regulate its own production. In your own words, and based on course material only: a. Identify the regulatory process and; b. Explain how this process works
