Which statement BEST explains why enzymes bind to specific substrates? An enzyme can be inhibited so its active site is altered O An enzyme folds differently in the presence of different substrates O Different amino acid sequences cause variations in the shapes of an enzyme's active sites O Enzyme-substrate binding is based on size so only large enzymes can bind to large substrates

______ are always changed by participating in a reaction. a. Enzymes b. Cofactors c. Reactants d. Coenzymes
KM is— a measure of substrate turnover. the rate at which the enzyme binds the substrate. an indicator of how strongly an enzyme binds its substrate. the rate constant for the reaction ES —> E + P. a measure of enzyme efficiency.
The active (catalytic) site of an enzyme contains the side chains of amino acid residues that areconserved because they participate in the protein’s catalytic activity. The bulk of the enzyme,however, is not part of the active site. A substantial amount of energy is required to synthesizeenzymes. Why are these molecules so large?
The active site of an enzyme ___. is where the coenzyme is located is a specific bulge or protuberance on an enzyme is a groove or crevice in the structure of the enzyme complementary to the substrate will react with only one substrate no matter how many molecules may resemble the shape of the substrate rigidly resists any alteration of its shape
A noncompetitive inhibitor (Circle one). a. Binds at the active site of the enzyme. b. Alters the three-dimensional structure of the enzyme. c. Increases the rate of the enzyme-catalyzed reaction. d. Has a structure similar to the substrate. e. Has its effect reversed by adding more substrate.
true or false 1. Conformational changes happen in an enzyme when the substrate binds to the active site. 2. Covalent bond stabilizes the binding of the substrate and the active site.
A transition-state analog— resembles the active site of general acid-base enzymes. is less stable when binding to an enzyme than the normal substrate. stabilizes the transition state for the normal enzyme-substrate complex. reacts more rapidly with an enzyme than the normal transition state intermediate. resembles the transition-state structure of the normal substrate in the enzyme-substrate complex.
Which model for enzyme-substrate chemical complementarity is described by the following: Before substrate binding, some enzyme molecules have active sites complementary to substrates and other enzyme molecules have non-complementary active sites. Substrate molecules preferentially bind to the enzyme molecules with complementary active sites. Non-complementary enzyme molecules undergo a structural change to become complementary to maintain conformational equilibrium. a) conformational selection b) induced fit c) lock and key...
Assume that an inhibitor (I) can bind to an enzyme and is modified by the enzyme. The modified inhibitor (I*) is then permanently associated with the active site of the enzyme, thus inhibiting the enzyme activity. Such inhibitors are called: Suicide substrates Transition-state analogs Both A and B Neither A nor Bwhich answer choice is correct im confused... thx
Item 35 Organic cofactors are referred to as _________. Fill in the blank 36 Item 36 Noncompetitive inhibition of an enzyme occurs when the inhibitor binds to the Multiple Choice a. allosteric site, and its effectiveness is not influenced by substrate concentration. b. allosteric site, and its effectiveness depends on substrate concentration. c. active site, and its effectiveness is not influenced by substrate concentration. d. active site, and its effectiveness depends on substrate concentration. e.substrate, and its effectiveness depends on product concentration.
the amino acid glutamic acid is at the active site of an enzyme. Normally the enzyme is active at pH 7. at pH 4 (higher concentration of H+), the enzyme is inactive. Explain there observations
