Enzyme
Enzyme-substrate
complex
.
Substrates enter active site; enzyme
changes shape so its active site
embraces the substrates (induced fit).
Substrates held in
active site by weak
interactions, such as
hydrogen bonds and
ionic bonds.
Substrates
Enzyme-substrate
complex
Active
site is
available
for two new
substrate
molecules.
Enzyme
Products are
released.
Substrates are
converted into
products.
Products
Active site (and R groups of
its amino acids) can lower EA
and speed up a reaction by
• acting as a template for
substrate orientation,
• stressing the substrates
and stabilizing the
transition state,
• providing a favorable
microenvironment,
• participating directly in the
catalytic reaction.

Denaturation of a protein
.
A substrate can
bind normally to the
active site of an
enzyme.
Substrate
Active site
Enzyme
Normal binding
A competitive
inhibitor mimics the
substrate, competing
for the active site.
Competitive
inhibitor
Competitive inhibition
A noncompetitive
inhibitor binds to the
enzyme away from the
active site, altering the
conformation of the
enzyme so that its
active site no longer
functions.
