An enzyme speeds up your reaction in your body.
The first step in enzyme activity is the binding of a substrate to the enzyme's active site, forming an enzyme-substrate complex. This binding often induces a conformational change in the enzyme, facilitating the chemical reaction. Once the reaction occurs, the products are released, and the enzyme is free to catalyze additional reactions.
A region on an enzyme that binds to a protein or other substance during a reaction
A specific enzyme is an enzyme that only changes the speed of ONE reaction. (It only acts on one particular substance that happens to be compatible with that enzyme) i.e. if enzyme A is specific to reaction A, it will change the speed of reaction A. However it will have no effect on any other reaction like reaction B or C.
yep
While the structure of an enzyme can, and often does, change over the course of a reaction, after a reaction has completed, enzymes are returned to their starting state. It is worth noting that certain cofactors (such as ATP or GTP) may also need to be replaced in order for the reaction to procede again.
A change in the shape of an enzyme that allows it to better bind with a substrate is called induced fit. This conformational change occurs when the enzyme interacts with the substrate, forming a more complementary fit that enhances reaction efficiency.
"Inside your mouth. It's like the saliva that you won't be able to taste food without."Err... lol.A enzyme reacts with a substrate at the enzyme's active site.
When hydrochloric acid reacts with catalase, it can lead to the denaturation of the catalase enzyme. This denaturation occurs due to the acidic nature of the hydrochloric acid, which disrupts the protein structure of the enzyme. As a result, the catalase enzyme loses its ability to catalyze reactions effectively.
Substrates. Once the enzyme and the substrate combine, on the product is created.
ur face
The active site of an enzyme is where the substrate binds and undergoes a chemical reaction. It is a region on the enzyme molecule where catalysis takes place. The active site has a specific shape that allows it to interact with the substrate with high specificity.
