| TERMS | DEFINITIONS | ||||||||
| Enzyme | An enzyme is a biological catalyst that can accelerate a spec i he chemical reaction by Io ering act ix at ion energy hut remain unaltered in the process. | ||||||||
| Key and lock model | According to this model a specific enzyme can transform only specific substrate into products. | ||||||||
| Cofactors | The metal ions which are loosely attached with the enzymes are called cofactors. | ||||||||
| Cofactors | Coenzy Ines are non protein, organic molecules that participate in enzyme-catalyzed reactions. | ||||||||
| Prosthetic group | The coy alently bonded non-protein part cofactors are called prosthetic group. | ||||||||
| Oxidoreductase | These enzy mes catalyze biological oxidations and reductions. | ||||||||
| Transferasc | These enzy mes catalyze the transfer of a group from one kind of molecule to another. | ||||||||
