Speed up chemical reactions by lowering the activation energy

What is the function of an enzyme?

Page 4: Enzymes. What is an enzyme? Organic catalyst Protein molecule.

Activation Energy

• energy required to start all chemical reaction

• How can all reactions require energy, if some are considered exergonic/exothermic?

Cofactors/Coenzymes

Page 15: Enzymes. What is an enzyme? Organic catalyst Protein molecule.

Feedback Inhibition

• End product controls action of enzyme• When end product binds to enzyme, there is a

change of shape and enzyme no longer functions
