enzymes help to lower the energy barrier which reactant need to overcome before they can form products
regulation of enzyme function
allosteric regulation
inhibition of enzyme activity
noncompetitive inhibition: a noncompetitive inhibitor binds to the enzyme away from the active site, changing its shape so that the active site functions much less effectively
competitive inhibition: a competitive inhibitor mimics a substrate, competing for the active site
substrate: the small molecule that an enzyme binds to
binding of a susbtrate forms weak bonds, changing the shape of the enzyme
weak bonds include hydrogen bonds and ionic bonds
active site: where on the enzyme the substrate binds to
stored energy available to do work
e.g gravitational energy
e.g. chemical energy
energy of motion
e.g. muscle contractions
e.g. light energy
strength of the bond depends on the molecules involved in the process of bond formation
cause protein chains to spiral and bend, giving unique shapes
this bond is the linkage between the 3" carbon atom of one sugar molecule and the 5" carbon atom of another
these bonds are central to all life on earth
chains containing less than 50 amino acids are peptides
chains containing greater than 50 amino acids are called proteins
peptide bonds are formed by the condensation of the carboxyl group of amino acid and the amino group of the second amino acid with the elimination of water
electrostatic force of attraction between positively charged ions and delocalized outer electrons
refers to an interaction between delocalized electrons and the metal nuclei
Example of metallic bonding: if metal cations and electrons are oppositely charged they will be attracted to each other and also other metal cations
the electronegative atom is usually oxygen, nitrogen, or fluorine.
these have partial negative charges
example of hydrogen bond: a hydrogen atom covalently bonded to an oxygen via a shared pair of electrons
complete transfer of valence electrons between atoms
metal loses electrons to become a positively charged cation
non metal accepts these electrons to become a negatively charged anion
example of ionic bond: Na and Cl
nonpolar covalent
evenly matched
polar covalent
unevenly matched, but willing to share
example of covalent bond: two hydrogen bonds getting close together, the attraction is balanced in both directions. Hydrogen gas is formed.

Hydrophilic, polar, large and charged molecules must use a transport Protein to enter/exit the cell.
transport proteins
There are two types of Transport Proteins: Protein Channels: a special entryway for large, polar, hydrophilic and charged ions to diffuse through the cell membrane This is called Facilitated Diffusion.
The proteins are specific; glucose can only pass through a glucose transport protein.
