Catalyst
A substance that speeds up the rate of a chemical reaction.
Enzyme
Protein that acts as a biological catalyst.
Biochemical Pathways
Organized sequence of chemical reactions.
Metabolism
The organic processes (in a cell or organism) that are necessary for life.
Active Site
The area of an enzyme where the catalysed reaction occurs.
Substrate
The specific substance that an enzyme acts upon.
Denatured
loss of an enzyme's normal shape so that it no longer functions; caused by a less than
optimal pH and temperature.
Competitive Inhibitor
An enzyme inhibitor that competes with substrate for binding at the active site of the
enzyme. Success depends on concentration.
Noncompetitive Inhibitor
A substance that reduces the activity of an enzyme by binding to a location remote from
the active site, changing its conformation so that it no longer binds to the substrate.
Co-enzyme
A chemical that works with an enzyme (e.g. NAD).
Peptide Bonds
The bonds connecting amino acids together to form polypeptide chains.
Primary Structure
The first level of protein structure; the specific sequence of amino acids making up a
polypeptide chain.
Secondary Structure
The second level of protein structure; the regular local patterns of coils or folds of a
polypeptide chain.
Tertiary Structure
The third level of protein structure; the overall, three-dimensional shape of a polypeptide
due to interactions of the amino acids making up the chain.
Striated Muscle
A muscle that appears banded; also called skeletal muscle.
Actin
Thin filament in muscle.
Myosin
Thick filament in muscle.
Sliding Filament Theory
