Poison that is an enzyme inhibitor but not a heavy metal?
example is alochol, ethanol, methanol
What is the difference between an enzyme and a catalyst and how are they similar. Please be very specific for me?
Enzyme slow down a reaction while catalyst speed up reactions. Enzyme contain a zinc content which makes it a metal, as well as catalyst; so that is one example of their simularities.
What are the four mechanisms that get substrates to the transition state?
The four mechanisms that get substrates to the transition state are: Acid-base catalysis, where protons are transferred between the enzyme and substrate to stabilize the transition state. Covalent catalysis, where the enzyme forms a transient covalent bond with the substrate to lower the activation energy. Metal ion catalysis, where metal ions in the active site of the enzyme participate in the catalytic reaction. Catalysis by proximity and orientation, where the enzyme brings the substrates in close proximity and in the correct orientation to facilitate the reaction.
What is the Difference between enzyme and regulatory enzyme?
An enzyme is one kind of protein that can catalyze a specific reaction whereas a regulatory enzyme is the enzyme which can regulate a series of reaction which undergo in the living organism. So we can say every enzyme is not a regulatory one but the regulatory enzymes are obviously a special kind of enzyme.
What kind of molecule is an enzyme-?
The type of molecule that is an enzyme is a protein molecule.
What is an enzyme inhibitor that isn't a heavy metal?
Ricin

Difference between activator and prosthetic groups?
Prosthetic groups can be as simple as a single metal ion bound into the enzyme's structure, or may be a more complicated organic molecule (which might also contain a metal ion). it is permanently bonded to enzyme. Activator is only metal ion that is detachable. source:chemguide.co.uk Stuffidious.com
What is a non protein helper of an enzyme molecule called?
Cofactor is a non-protein, inorganic enzyme helper. An example of a cofactor is metal ions.
Can the reaction of an enzyme still take place if it's shape is changed by a heavy metal or the change in it's pH level?
If an enzyme is put under certain conditions, including proximity to heavy metals, pH extremes, and temperature extremes, the enzyme will break apart. This means that the enzyme has been denatured, and will no longer work. It depends on how much the enzyme's shape has changed. This is dependent on what enzyme is in question and what conditions it was put under.

What is role of metal ion in enzyme catalysis?
On each surface of enzyme there are detachable cofactor (non-protein portin of enzyme) called activators. Activators are metal ions.Enzymes are proteins and literally fold into a specific 3d structure, to make space for an active site (also called activators). Active site has a shape that fits with specific substrate molecules.The enzyme and substrate form a temporary enzyme-substrate complex.Enzymes are flexible structures.When enzyme and substrate bind together, the shape of enzyme molecule undergoes slight change.This produces strain in chemical bond in the substrate molecules and as a result these bonds break and bonds are formed. These stresses encourage a link between two substrstes leading to the formation of a different molecule.As the result of the chemicl interactions within the active sites a new chemical compound is formed. The new chemical compound is called product.This product is released from the active site, the enzyme assumes its orignal shape and is free to work again.

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 liquids makes metals rust the fastest?
What can make a metal rust fastest is meat enzyme it might take a few days but it will help Water is another substance that can make a metal rust fast Another substance is soda and sugar
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
