Document Summary

Catalyst: a substance that speeds up a chemical reaction without itself being consumed in the reaction. Enzyme: a biological macromolecule that serves as a catalyst in biochemical reactions. Ribozyme: an rna molecule that catalyzes a biochemical reaction. Substrate: a reactant in a biochemical process; usually something that is acted upon by an enzyme. Transition state: the unstable intermediate condition of a substrate in a biochemical reaction after which the reaction will process to forming products. Activation energy: the energy required to initiate a chemical reaction; also defined as the energy required to overcome the energy barrier to a chemical reaction. Active site: a location on an enzyme at which the substrate binds. Coenzyme: an organic molecule that acts as a cofactor for an enzyme. Feedback inhibition: a process in which excess products work to inhibit the biochemical pathways that make those products by binding to inhibiting enzymes early in the pathway, thus shutting down further product information.
