Anaerobic metabolism
Term
___ produces 36-38 ATP's
Definition
Anaerobic metabolism
Term
___ uses high energy phosphate compounds such as ATP in the ligase mediated reactions
Definition
Phosphagen
Term
___ is a protein that speeds up the rate of a chemical reaction by lowering the activation energy

Definition
Enzyme
Term
Delta G is ___
Definition
Gibbs free energy
Term
Enzymes are specific to the ____
Definition
reactions they catalyze
Term

Definition
pro-enzyme
Term
Pro-enzymes are also known as ___

zymogen
Term
An _____ is the protein component of an enzyme to which the coenzyme is attached
Definition
apoenzyme
Term
___ is the process in which there is loss of hydrogen electrons or gain of oxygen
Definition
Oxidation (OIL)
Term
___ is an enzyme that causes the oxygen in a compound to be changed to water
Definition
Oxidase
Term
___ is an enzyme which oxidizes a compound by removing hydrogen
Definition
Dehydrogenase
Term
___ is the process in which there is a gain of hydrogen electrons or a loss of oxygen
Definition
Reduction (RIG)
Term
___ is an enzyme which adds hydrogen to a compound
Definition
Reductase
Term
____ is the chemical process by which a carboxyl group is added or displaces a hydrogen atom
Definition
Carboxylation
Term
____ is the enzyme which catalyzes the addition of a carboxyl group
Definition
carboxylase
Term
___ is the process in which the carboxyl group is removed from an organic compound as CO2 and is commonly replaced by a hydrogen atom
Definition
Decarboxylation
Term
___ is the enzyme that catalyzes the release of CO2 from compounds
Definition
decarboxylase
Term
___refers to the cleavage of a compound by the addition of water, the hydroxyl group being incorporated in one fragment and the hydrogen atom in the other
Definition
Hydrolysis
Term
___ is the enzyme that facilitates hydrolysis as in sucrase in the breakdown of sucrose
Definition
hydrolase
Term
___is the process of introducing a phosphate group into an organic molecule
Definition
Phosphorylation
Term
___is the enzyme which adds inorganic phosphate to a substrate without using ATP
Definition
phosphorylase
Term
___ is the enzyme that removes a phosphate group from its substrate by hydrolyzing phosphoric acid monoester into a phosphate ion and a molecule with a free hydroxyl group
Definition
phosphatase
Term
___ is an enzyme that transfers a phosphate group from high energy donor molecules such as ATP to a specific substrate
Definition
Kinase
Term
___ is an enzyme that catalyzes the transfer of a functional group from one molecule to another
Definition
transferase
Term
____ is an enzyme that catalyzes the joining of two molecules
Definition
Ligase
Term
___refers to maximum velocity of a reaction and is proportional to enzyme concentration

Definition
Inhibitor
Term
What are the three ways of enzymatic regulation?
Definition
noncompetitive inhibition, competitive inhibition, allosteric regulation
Term
__ the inhibitor always binds to the enzyme at a site other than the enzymes active site and is irreversible
Definition
noncompetitive inhibition
Term
Noncompetitive inhibition ___ the Vmax
Definition
reduces
Term
____ the concentration of the substrate does not affect the activity of the inhibitor in ___
Definition
Increasing; noncompetitive inhibition
Term
In ___ inhibitor binds to the same active site as the normal enzyme substrate, without undergoing a reaction and is ___
Definition
competitive inhibition, reversible
Term
In ___ increasing the concentration of the substrate will overcome the activity of the inhibitor, thus the Vmax will
Definition
competitive inhibition, not change
Term
In an ___ an enzymes activity is regulated by binding an effector molecule at the enzymes allosteric site
Definition
allosteric regulation
Term
an allosteric site is ___
Definition
a site other than its active site
Term
effectors that enhance the proteins activity are referred to as ___
Definition
allosteric activators
Term
effectors that decrease the proteins activity are called ___
Definition
allosteric inhibitors
