Why do you need more than one sort of enzyme?

Enzymes are the things that break down proteins. You have more than one type of protein sequence in your body, therefore you would need more than one enzyme to break it down.


Some enzymatic regulation is allosteric In such cases which of the following would usually be found?

In allosteric enzyme regulation, the regulator molecule binds to a site other than the active site, called the allosteric site. This binding alters the enzyme's activity by inducing a conformational change in the enzyme structure. This can either activate or inhibit the enzyme's function, depending on the nature of the allosteric regulator.


What is the likely effect of treating a sample of DNA with more than one kind of restriction enzyme?

your mom haha your such a looser for putting your mom the answer is treating a DNA sample with more than one kind of restiction enzyme will probably produce more DNA fragments of different sizes


Does ATP bind to an enzyme at more than one place?

cellular proteins have an specific site where ATP can bind


How many substrates can an enzyme have?

An enzyme can have multiple substrates, as it can bind to more than one substrate molecule at a time. This binding can occur at the active site of the enzyme, where the substrates interact with the enzyme's catalytic residues to facilitate the chemical reaction. The specificity of the enzyme's active site determines which substrates can bind to the enzyme.


What is the term for an enzyme catalyzes only one type of reaction?

It is called a lock and key mechanism.Actually is more than one word. It is called a lock and key mechanism. Only one key can unlock one lock.


The graph below shows how two different enzymes react with a substrate as the temperature increases. Based on the results what conclusion can be drawn about the action of the enzymes as?

Based on the graph, it can be concluded that one enzyme is more temperature-sensitive than the other. This is evident by the steeper slope of one enzyme's curve, indicating a faster increase in activity with temperature. Additionally, both enzymes exhibit an optimum temperature where their activity is highest before declining due to denaturation.


What enzyme speeds up a chemical reaction is known as?

All enzyme's are catalysts for certain chemical reactions. Each enzyme will only work with a certain substrate one analogy being that the enzyme is a key and the substrate is a keyhole, and each enzyme has a unique enzyme.


What is enzyme cooperativity?

If an enzyme has two or more subunits, a substrate molecule causing induced fit in one subunit can trigger the same favorable conformational change in all the other subunits of the enzyme. Essentially, enzyme cooperativity is a mechanism of amplification regarding the response of enzymes to substrates: One substrate molecule primes an enzyme to accept additional substrate molecules more readily.


Why would an enzyme produce more product at one temperature more so then another?

Enzymes do not 'produce' products. They increase the speed of the reactions they work on, for instance we react starch with water to produce maltose, and this is catalysed by amylase. Temperature affects the activity of the enzyme because of two factors:Thermal motion. As the temperature decreases, particles move more slowly and therefore collide less frequently, consequently the reactants and the enzyme encounter each other less often and the reaction is slowed.Denaturing. Above a certain temperature the chemical structure of the enzyme is destroyed and it can no longer work.Thus there is an optimum temperature for the action of the enzyme.
