Enzymes do not create light. Instead, bioluminescence, which is the production of light by living organisms, is typically achieved through specific chemical reactions mediated by enzymes within specialized structures called photophores. These enzymes catalyze the conversion of a substrate molecule into a product that emits light as a result of the reaction.
Yes, ATP can bind to enzymes as a substrate or a cofactor to facilitate enzymatic reactions. The binding of ATP provides energy for the reaction to occur by transferring a phosphate group to the substrate molecule.
Often enzymes require a cofactor in order for them to function as a catalyst
It will only bind with the enzymes active site of the shapes are complimentary and enzymes are very specific
They would be considered competitive enzymes because they are able to bind to the same substrate and compete for it.
The competitive inhibitors bind in the active site while noncompetitive inhibitors bind at an allosteric site, which is located somewhere else on the enzyme other than the active site.
Competitive inhibitors bind to the active site of enzymes, blocking the substrate from binding and inhibiting the enzyme's activity.
No, uncompetitive inhibitors do not bind to the active site of enzymes. They bind to a different site on the enzyme, causing a conformational change that prevents the substrate from binding to the active site.

There is a chemical in their bodies called luciferin. They mix it with several other chemicals and enzymes to create a reaction that puts out the yellow-green light you see.
They would be considered competitive enzymes because they are able to bind to the same substrate and compete for it.
Enzymes are limited in their ability to bind with a particular molecule by their specificity. Enzymes have specific active sites that only bind to certain substrates based on their shape and chemical properties. This specificity allows enzymes to catalyze specific reactions in biological systems.
The competitive inhibitors bind in the active site while noncompetitive inhibitors bind at an allosteric site, which is located somewhere else on the enzyme other than the active site.
