Energy
Capacity to do work
Exergonic Reactions
release energy and produce heat
Endergonic reactions
require input of energy
Energy coupling
Mechanism to tie exergonic to endergonic reactions- ATP used as intermediate
Active Site of enzyme
site where enzyme and substrate meet
Induced fit model
binding of subsrtate slightly changes shape of enzyme's active site
