Enzymes are biological catalysts that play a crucial role in metabolic processes through enzyme substrate induced fit interaction and various inhibition mechanisms.
- Enzymes are protein-based catalysts that speed up chemical reactions without being permanently altered
- Metabolic biochemical pathway series involve multiple enzymes working sequentially, where products of one reaction become substrates for the next
- The induced fit model explains how enzymes interact with substrates through conformational changes
- Both competitive and non competitive enzyme inhibition mechanisms regulate enzymatic activity
- Feedback inhibition helps maintain metabolic balance by controlling enzyme activity through allosteric regulation
