ATP
drives chemical reactions for cellular
work
by
, transferring a phosphate to other molecules, and is
replenished
by cellular (aerobic)
.
An
is a
protein that speeds up a
reaction
without being consumed by the reaction.
An enzyme facilitates an
reaction
by
lowering
its
energy.
An enzyme is often
activated
when its substrate binds to the protein's
site.
An
can be
regulated
by altering its shape in response to the binding of a
molecule.
Enzymes must be in the proper 3-dimensional
(conformation) to be active. Factors that affect enzyme function include
and
, and most enzymes have an optimal temperature and pH
range.
