reaction depends on concentration of enzyme and substrate, Coenzymes- organic cofactors, some vitamins. Competitive Inhibitors- substances that prevent an enzyme from functioning by mimicking substrate. Noncompetitive Inhibitor- substance that prevents an enzyme from functioning, attach at some other place and distort active site so substrate cannot attach.
12. What is an acid? A base?
An acid is a compound that donates H+ ions. A base is a compound that donates OH- ions or accepts H+ ions.
