An organic compound that acts as a catalyst in biochemical reactions, increasing the reaction rate without being consumed or altered.

A small organic molecule that acts as a cofactor to assist an enzyme in its catalytic function.

A nonprotein component needed by certain enzymes for function. Can be an inorganic ion or organic molecule.

The protein part of a conjugated enzyme; inactive until combined with a cofactor.

The complete, biologically active form of a conjugated enzyme (apoenzyme + cofactor).

An inactive enzyme precursor that requires modification to become active.

The specific region on an enzyme where the substrate binds and the reaction occurs.

The reactant molecule upon which an enzyme acts.

Increasing reaction rate by lowering activation energy.

Enzymes' ability to catalyze only specific reactions or bind only specific reactants.

Enzyme catalyzing hydrolysis reactions where water is used to break bonds.

Enzymes catalyzing oxidation-reduction reactions, often using coenzymes.

Enzyme catalyzing the transfer of a functional group from one molecule to another.

Enzyme catalyzing the addition or removal of groups from double bonds without hydrolysis or oxidation.

Enzyme catalyzing the rearrangement of atoms within a molecule, creating isomers.

Enzyme catalyzing the joining of two molecules using energy from ATP.

Enzymes are grouped into classes based on the type of reaction they catalyze.

The process of controlling the rate of enzyme-catalyzed reactions to meet the cell's needs.

The specific positions of enzymes in a cell, often crucial to their function.
