Enzyme Supplements Page  (Each item is listed alphabetically!)

    Top half of this supplement.

        In the following illustration, you see the temporary binding of the enzyme's active site to the
        substrate.  You then see enzyme separate from its new product molecules.  Well it landed in
        the wrong spot above and the stubborn purple pix. wont move.  I finally killed it off on 10.22.08.

       
                    Enzyme-Substrate Complex A

         You do NOT have to know about co-enzymes for Bio H.

         In the above picture is the reactant or the product larger? _________
       In the above picture are there more reactants or more products?  ___________
       In the above picture, would the missing water be on the left or right? ________
       In the above picture, is the water a reactant or a product?   _________
       Does the above picture represent a synthesis or a hydrolysis reaction? ____________
 

In the model below, the active site (of the enzyme) is the top of the purple and the substrate is blue.

                Enzyme-Substrate Complex B

        In the above picture is the reactant or the product larger? _________
       In the above picture are there more reactants or more products?  ___________
       In the above picture, would the missing water be on the left or right? ________
       In the above picture, is the water a reactant or a product?   _________
       Does the above picdture represent a synthesis or a hydrolysis reaction? ____________

        Lock and Key Model:

           Look at the structure of the enzyme and its substrate.  They seem to fit together like a
           key into its lock.  Maybe that's why its called the Lock & Key Model.  What do you think?
