What type of enzyme brings reactants closer together?

A ligase enzyme catalyzes the joining of two molecules by forming a chemical bond. This enzyme brings reactants closer together to facilitate the formation of the bond.


What is a substance that lowers the rate at which enzyme catalyzes a reaction but doesn't bind to the active site?

A noncompetitive inhibitor is a substance that can bind to the enzyme at a location other than the active site, altering the enzyme's shape and reducing its activity. This type of inhibition does not compete with the substrate for binding to the enzyme.


How are the different types of inhibitors different?

Competitive inhibitors bind to the active site of an enzyme, preventing the substrate from binding. Noncompetitive inhibitors bind to a site other than the active site, changing the shape of the enzyme and preventing substrate binding. Uncompetitive inhibitors bind only to the enzyme-substrate complex, preventing catalysis.


Difference between reversible and irreversible inhibitors?

Enzyme inhibitors are molecules that bind to enzymes and decrease their activity. The binding of an inhibitor can stop a substrate from entering the enzyme's active site and/or hinder the enzyme from catalyzing its reaction. Inhibitor binding is either reversible or irreversible. Irreversible inhibitors usually react with the enzyme and change it chemically. These inhibitors modify key amino acid residues needed for enzymatic activity. In contrast, reversible inhibitors bind non-covalently and different types of inhibition are produced depending on whether these inhibitors bind the enzyme, the enzyme-substrate complex, or both.


Are the substrates in an enzymatic reaction reactants or products?

Substrates in an enzymatic reaction are the reactants. They are the molecules that are acted upon by the enzyme to produce the products of the reaction.

What is the name of region at which reactants bind to an enzyme during a biochemical reaction?

The region where reactants bind to an enzyme during a biochemical reaction is called the active site. It is a specific region on the enzyme where the substrate binds, forming an enzyme-substrate complex that leads to the catalysis of the reaction.


What is the name of the region which reactants bind to an enzyme during a biochemical reaction?

the cell membrane


How structures affects function?

The structure is important because each enzyme's shapes allows only certain reactants to bind the enzyme.


What is the reactants of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction known as?

Reactants. "Substrate" is another possibility.


What are the reactants of enzyme-catalyzed reactions know as?

The reactants of enzyme-catalyzed reactions are known as substrates. Substrates bind to the active site of an enzyme, where the reaction takes place. Enzymes help lower the activation energy required for the reaction to occur.


What term describe reactants when they are associated with enzyme?

substrateSubstrates.substrate


Can The activation site of an enzyme bind to a specific subtrate?

The activation site of an enzyme can only bind to a specific substrate.


Where do noncompetitive inhibitors bind in relation to the enzyme's active site?

Noncompetitive inhibitors bind to a site on the enzyme that is not the active site.

The reactants of an enzyme-catalzyed reaction are known as what?

The substrate is the molecule affected by the enzyme.


Where do uncompetitive inhibitors bind in relation to the enzyme's active site?

Uncompetitive inhibitors bind to the enzyme at a different site than the active site.
