Enzymes are Catalysts Catalysts: substances that speed up chemical reactions without being affected by the reactions themselves. Enzyme: a protein that increases the rate of reactions by lowering the activation energy. Catalysts: substances that speed up chemical reactions without being affected by the reactions themselves. Enzyme: a protein that increases the rate of reactions by lowering the activation energy.
54
Enzymes lower AE Activation Energy: the amount of energy needed to start a chemical reaction
55
Enzymes lower AE
56
Enzyme-Substrate Specificity Substrate: molecule on which an enzyme acts An enzyme binds to a substrate and stresses the bonds of that molecule in a way that makes a reaction more likely to occur. The key to an enzyme’s activity is its shape. Active Site: location on an enzyme where the substrate binds Each substrate can only bind to one enzyme.
