Resource summary

Active sites
  1. determine how the substrate will bind to an enzyme
    1. R groups of amino acids stick out and create binding specificity for substrates
      1. non-protein helpers
        1. cofactors
          1. inorganic
          2. coemzymes
            1. organic
          3. inhibitors
            1. inhibit an enzyme's activity
              1. competitive
                1. bind active site of enzyme blocking substrate from entering
                  1. affects km and maybe vmax
                  2. noncompetitive
                    1. binds to another part of the enzyme changing its conformation and the substrate can still fit in active site
                      1. effects vmax and maybe km
                      2. uncompetitive
                        1. bind enzyme once substrate is bound inhibiting product production
                          1. no change to vmax of km
                          2. allosteric regulation
                            1. changes the shape and therefore the function
