Detergents would most likely disrupt what type of stabilizing interaction? Salt bridges Hydrogen bonds Disulfide bonds Hydrophobic interaction An inorganic substance that assists in an enzyme catalytic process is called a: cofactor coenzyme regulator substrate Enzymes function as a catalyst by: lowering the overall energy change in a reaction changing the equilibrium constant increasing the time it takes for a reaction to take place lowering the activation energy of a reaction A molecule that is similar in terms of the correct structure to the substrate for an enzyme will probably be a: cofactor regulator competitive inhibitor noncompetitive inhibitor The process of competitive inhibition can be overcome by: increasing the pH increasing the substrate concentration decreasing the temperature all of the above Heavy metals such as Pb2+ or Hg2+ act as a(n) inhibitor. Irreversible reversible noncompetitive competitive When a molecule binds to an enzyme a
