1
Free Energy
(-) exergonic rxn is spontaneous, while a (+) endergonic reaction is nonspontaneous
2
What are the 6 major classes of enzymes?
Oxireductases, transferases, hydrolases, lyases, isomerases, and ligases
3
Enxymes use an induced fit model
If it is the lock and key model, it will fit too well and never leave. Hence the induced fit of slightly forcing its energy to change is better so once its work it done, it can leave. However enxymes are not overall changed in a reaction
4
What are the different ways to regulate an enzyme?
Temperature, pH, Inhibitors or Activators
