What is the function of substrate?

Maltase is an enzyme which works on the substrate maltose. Maltose is a sugar consisting of two glucose subunits.


Are catalyse Maltese and sucrose enzymes?

All enzymes end in -ase. Their substrate is the base for the enzyme. For example: the sugar maltose is acted on by the enzyme maltase. Sucrose, by sucrase.


What is substrate of maltase?

maltase is found in intestinal juice and hydrolyzes maltose to glucose. Substrate = maltose Product = glucose


What enzyme digests sugars?

Sucrase is the enzyme (called a disaccharidase) that digests sucrose, the major disaccharide in table sugar.


What to enzymes do in an enzyme-substrate?

in an enzyme-substrate complex, the enzyme acts on the substrate .


The binding together of an enzyme and a substrate forms a what?

enzyme-substrate complex


What is it called when and enzyme and substrate come together?

The binding of an enzyme and a substrate forms an enzyme-substrate complex. It lowers the activation energy of a chemical reaction


What do most enzymes end in?

Some thing then ase. So if the substrate was called B the enzyme would B+ase, Base. Or substrate Z, the enzyme would be Z+ase, Zase. Some examples, amylase, maltase, catalase, sucrase. That is the most common naming, but it is not ALWAYS the case.


How many amino acids does maltase enzyme contain?

The number of amino acids (aa) varies with the source of the maltase enzyme. The maltase enzyme from E.coli has 678aa Rat has 953aa Mouse has 953aa Human has 914aa Yeast has 584aa


Is a substrate an enzyme?

NO. The enzyme acts on the substrate. The substrate is the chemical/compound being altered by the action of the enzyme. They are NOT the same.


The substance acted upon by an enzyme is called its?

A substrate is the substance acted upon by an enzyme. The enzyme substrate complex is when an enzyme molecule combines with its substrates.


The specific function of the enzyme maltase?

Maltase is a biological catalyst used in digestion. Once starch has been broken down to maltose,maltase continues the chemical digestion and breaks the maltose down to glucose, ie a soluble, smaller molecule that can easily be absorbed.
