What kind of molecule is a enzyme?
Many enzymes consist of a protein and a non-protein (called the cofactor). The proteins in enzymes are usually globular. This is the tertiary structure of a protein. These globular proteins include enzymes and immunoglobins. The structures are held in place by hydrogen bonds, disulfide bridges and ionic bonds.
What are inducible and non inducible enzymes?
Inducible: usually off for protein synthesis but can be turned on Non inducible, or REPRESSIBLE : usually on for protein synthesis but can be turned off Inducible: usually off for protein synthesis but can be turned on Non inducible, or REPRESSIBLE : usually on for protein synthesis but can be turned off
What is Digestion of carbohydrate protein and fat?
A fat is usually processed by bile and other enzymes in the duodenum
Usually attached to rough endoplasmic reticulum and produce enzymes and other protein compounds?
ribosomes
Most enzymes are made of?
Enzyme are proteins, and, thus, have the same building blocks. They are made up of amino acids.
What is a protein molecule that acts as a biological catalyst to speed up chemical reactions by lowering the energy of activation?
The presence of catalysts, usually enzymes.
What type of organic macromolecule is an enzyme?
Many enzymes consist of a protein and a non-protein (called the cofactor). The proteins in enzymes are usually globular. They have tertiary structure and this type of globular protein includes immunoglobins, as well. The structures are held in place by hydrogen bonds, disulfide bridges and ionic bonds.
How many different types of substrates can an enzyme react with?
Usually only one, protein enzymes tend to be very specific.
What class of organic molecules includes biological catalysts?
organic catalysts made of protein are called enzymes (these are usually made by living things)nonprotein based organic catalysts are simply called organic catalysts (these are usually synthesized artificially)
How are enzyme usually named?
Individual enzymes are named by adding the suffix "-ase" to the name of the substrate with which the enzyme reacts. An example of this method is the enzyme amylase, which controls the breakdown of amylose (starch). There are categories of enzymes that control certain reactions. Hydrolases control hydrolytic reactions; proteinases control protein breakdown; synthetases control synthesis reactions. There are exceptions: trypsin and pepsin, both digestive enzymes that breakdown protein, retain the names used before the modern form of nomenclature was adopted.Read more: how-are-enzymes-named
What specific proteins are responsible for speeding up the rate of chemical reactions?
"Catalysts", in general chemical terms, but in living organisms they are usually called "enzymes".
How hyperthermia kills?
Hyperthermia is an abnormal increase in the core body temperature. Extreme hyperthermia (usually defined as greater than 106 degrees F in humans) caused the enzymes within the body's cells to degrade and inactivate. If enough enzymes are deactivated, the cell dies. If enough cells die, or enough of a particular cell such as a cranial neuron die, the organism will also die.
