Concept explainers
Match the description of the enzyme process with its type of regulation.
(a) The product of a series of 10 reactions inhibits the third reaction in the series.
(b) An enzyme is produced in an inactive form that becomes active only after several amino acids are removed.
(c) A small molecule binds to enzyme
(d) There are two forms of an enzyme. One is more active than the other. The most active form becomes less active when a particular amino acid on its surface is methylated.
(e) An enzyme is made up of four subunits. There are two types of subunits with slightly different isoelectric points, and different permutations are found in different tissues of the body.
1. Covalent modification
2. Isozymes
3. Allosterism
4. Feedback Inhibition
5. Zymogens

- The process by which an enzyme acts on the substrate can be described by the: a. lock-and-key model. b. enzyme-and-substrate model. c. enzyme folding model. d. catalytic model.arrow_forwardThe site on an enzyme molecule that does the catalytic work is called the: a. binding site. b. allosteric site. c. lock. d. active site.arrow_forwardDescribe the difference between graphs showing temperature versus reaction rate for an enzyme-catalyzed reaction and an uncatalyzed reaction.arrow_forward
- Draw a graph that shows the effect of increasing substrate concentration on the rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction (at constant temperature, pH, and enzyme concentration).arrow_forwardHow is enzyme specificity explained by the lock-and-key theory?arrow_forwardWhat is the general role of enzymes in the human body?arrow_forward
