What that act as
is an
enzyme : enzymes are globular proteins biological catalysts to lower
the activation energy of a reaction and therefore increase the rate of reaction .

The active site and substrate

Cofactorsmmm
are complementary .




Cofactors are non protein " "
substances that
enzymes require in order to function .




Examples Mg Ca:



Non proteins bond to enzyme changing shape of active site enabling optimum attachment .




Prosthetic groups : protein no substance in active site ie
prosthetic group tend to be a


permanent part of enzyme
Non protein organic with active site
may form temporary associations
Coenzymes : molecules




demented

, Factors affectinyratemnmmmm
wmmnjjméiectionnnnnmm
Temperaturemmmm
Initially at low temperature when temp is increased , rate of reaction increases since kinetic
energy is increased in substrate and enzyme causing more collisions forming more es complexes .




Activity is maximum at optimum temperature .




At higher temperature bonds
maintaining the tertiary structure are broken and the active
site looses it's shape This means the substrate can not fit causing
.
decrease a in rate of
reaction and
leading the enzyme to be denatured
Mammals optimum temperature is about 40K
i§¥
.




Optimum temp
at 60° the
enzyme will be denatured ( irreversible change ) .


denaturation
§ Increased temp outweighs kinetic

An increase or decrease in Ph will decrease rate of reaction .
