Enzymes lower activation energy Free energy Activation energy— no enzyme Substrates (A B) ∆G 0 = Gf 0(C D) Gf 0(A B) Activation energy with enzyme Products (C D) Progress of the reaction
Enzymes are recycled Substrate Glyceraldehyde-3 -P Fructose 1, 6 -bisphosphate Dihydroxyacetone-P Products Active site Enzyme–substrate complex Free aldolase
Enzymes are specific for their substrates 3 dimensional structure determined by folding is dependent on side chain interactions determined by charge and hydrophobicity.
