... attach itself permanently to the active site of the enzyme thereby excluding any possibility of normal substrate taking up its rightful space. So in this case the inhibitors are not competing with each other so this is known as non-competitive ...

... can conclude that when the pH was 3 and 5 no oxygen was produced, therefore no reactions were taking place. This was because the pH had a high hydrogen ion content, which caused the breaking of the ionic bonds that ...

... and liver, and is used to remove Hydrogen Peroxide from cells, as it is the poisonous by-product of metabolism. There are two types of enzyme-substrate metabolic reactions: anabolic and catabolic. An anabolic reaction is when there is a two-part substrate, ...

... further due to higher temperatures therefore providing more kinetic energy to the particles, essentially providing more energy for collisions between particles to occur. 3 At this point the rate of reaction starts to slow down (decelerate), due to the enzyme starting ...

... active sites of the enzyme are being used which results in more reactions so the required amount of oxygen is made more quickly. Once the amount of substrate molecules added exceeds the number of active sites available then the rate of ...

... that is complementary to the substrate molecule. The first step in the reaction is forming a specific association of the molecules called the enzyme substrate complex. This is because the active sites of the enzyme and substrate molecules match each ...
