1. It is not used up and does not change shape in a reaction.
2. It is used to speed up a reaction
3. Will only bind to another molecule as long as the enzyme substrate complex can form(see lock and key theory)

∙ 9y agoEnzymes are proteins and their levels of activity depend on their tertiary and quarternary structures. They tend to be specific in terms of the reaction they can catalyze and are sensitive to changes in pH and temperature. Enzymes work in aqueous solutions and are often regulated by inhibitors.

§Holoenzymes consist of an apoenzyme (protein) and a cofactor (usually an ion)
§Enzymes are chemically specific

One of the unique characteristics of retrotransposons is that?
One of the unique characteristics of retrotransposons is that they code for an enzyme that synthesizes DNA using an RNA template.
What are the characteristics of malnourished children?
Alterations in enzyme levels, tissue abnormalities, and organ malfunction may be followed by illness and death.
Which characteristics of an enzyme?
An enzyme is a protein, so is in its most basic form, a string of amino acids. However, hydrogen bonds between molecules in the string make the chain fold into a large, bundled shape that will have an 'active site' that will only allow bonding one specific substrate.
What are the characteristics of the lipoprotein lipase enzyme?
its low activity in obese people explains, in part, the inability to mobilize storage fate for energy when following an energy-restricted diet.
What can you do to regain the activity of the enzyme?
The enzyme is inactive at this point. New enzyme must be added to regain enzyme activity
What to enzymes do in an enzyme-substrate?
in an enzyme-substrate complex, the enzyme acts on the substrate .
Does enzyme has proteins?
An enzyme is a protein
What is the active site for an enzyme?
The place where the substrate and the enzyme meet to allow the enzyme to function.
What is an angiotensin converting enzyme?
An angiotensin converting enzyme is an enzyme which catalyzes the creation of angiotensin.
The binding together of an enzyme and a substrate forms a what?
enzyme-substrate complex
What enzyme is responsible for fat digestion?
the lipase enzyme :)
An enzyme that cuts double-stranded DNA at specific nucleotide sequences?
Such an enzyme is called a restriction endonuclease
