They can be described using a Lineweaver-Burke (LINE-"weaver" BURK) plot, which depicts Michaelis-Menten (mih-KAY-liss MEN-ten) kinetics.
The ping pong mechanism is one method sometimes used to describe these molecules. RNA can act as one of these molecules when it assumes the hammerhead configuration. They often possess complimentary geometric shapes according to the lock and key model. They can be described using a Lineweaver-Burke (LINE-"weaver" BURK) plot, which depicts Michaelis-Menten (mih-KAY-liss MEN-ten) kinetics. These molecules act upon a substrate which binds to a certain active site. For 10 points, name these proteins that catalyze biological reactions.
