  Part 2 | Chapter 6 Tutorial Home Screen 1 of 8

To fully appreciate this tutorial, you should be familiar with the concepts of:
• Molecule
• Disaccharide and monosaccharide
• Reactants and products
• Chemical bonds and chemical reactions
• Metabolism
• Protein
• Catalysts

After this tutorial, you will be able to describe:
• Activation energy
• Active site
• Substrate
• Enzyme-substrate complex
• Induced fit
• Metabolic pathway
• Feedback inhibition
• Allosteric site
• Competitive inhibition
• Allosteric regulator
• Competetive inhibition

6 How do enzymes carry out their functions and how are they regulated?
Tutorial Menu

Enzyme function and activation energy
How enzymes lower activation energy
Enzymes work by induced fit
Regulating enzymes: feedback inhibition
Regulating enzymes: allosteric enzymes
Regulating enzymes: competitive inhibition
Summary

 

Cells depend on enzymes to carry out the life-essential chemical reactions of metabolism. Enzymes are required catalysts of these chemical reactions. This tutorial will explain how enzymes work and how they are regulated.
