Definition
- polymers of AA joined by peptide bond / 1* = AA sequence, 2* = folding (alpha beta) • Hormones (ACTH & insulin), Enzymes, structural pro (collagen), transport (hemoglobin), antibodies |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
– lower activation E & inc. rate of rxn / do not affect overall E • Higher temp = inc enzyme action / optimal pH = 7.2 (except pepsin & pancreas) • Competitive inhibitors compete w/ substrate for binding at ACTIVE site; can be overcome by adding more substrate; Vmax not affected • Noncompetitive inhibitors bind at allosteric site; diminishes Vmax |
