This monomer inhibits the enzyme with high affinity (K i = 40 μM) holding it in place near the growing particle and hence allowing the polymer chains to adapt to the shape of the protein surface ...

If an enzyme is present, the amount of energy needed to make a product is lowered. As the products are made, they are no longer specific to the active site (they have a low affinity to the enzyme ...

An induced fit occurs where the active site of the enzyme is changed slightly to better fit the substrate after the substrate binds. The active site has a high affinity to the substrate as well as ...

In this project, the team was looking for how different mutations affect the speed of the enzyme, and its affinity for CO 2, which determines its accuracy. To do this, the team worked with their ...
