<p>Enzymes = Biocatalysts mainly proteins that regulate the rate of biochemical reactions Nomenclature = Enzyme names with the suffix '-ase' attached to the substrate or description of the action performed Holoenzyme = Active enzyme with its nonprotein component (cofactor) Cofactors = Organic or inorganic molecules required for the activity of certain conjugated enzymes</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>Ribozymes = Except for these, virtually all enzymes are protein in nature Apoenzyme = Enzyme without its cofactor, and is inactive Conjugated proteins (holoenzyme) = Some enzymes are these, referring to the active enzyme with its nonprotein component (cofactor) Simple proteins = Some enzymes are these, excluding the conjugated proteins</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>Glucosidase = Enzyme name with the suffix '-ase' attached to the substrate Lactate dehydrogenase = Enzyme name without a hint of the associated enzymatic reaction Adenylyl cyclase = Enzyme name with the suffix '-ase' attached to a description of the action performed Trypsin = Enzyme retaining its original name without hint of associated enzymatic reaction</p> Signup and view all the answers
