The optimal PH for most enzymes is near neutrality, in the range of 6-8. Outside this range normal chemical functioning of cells may be impaired. This was from my text book but since water is not a reactant and is normal for pretty much every one of the enzymes functions, i would assume that it has no effect by itself, but can have an effect paired up reactants, and energy sources.

What is Hydrophilic Enzyme?

A hydrophilic enzyme is an enzyme that is water-soluble and functions in aqueous environments. These enzymes are typically found in cell cytoplasm or extracellular spaces where water is abundant. Hydrophilic enzymes play crucial roles in various biological processes by catalyzing chemical reactions in water-based solutions.


Is H2O an enzyme?

No, H2O is not an enzyme. H2O refers to water (chemical formula for water). Enzymes are biological molecules that act as catalysts to speed up chemical reactions in living organisms.

Is water a substrate?

A substrate is the substance in which an enzyme act, or a process occurs. For example lactose is a substrate, but water is not.


Is the enzyme activity same at 5 and 25 Centigrade temperature in water?

The specific activity of an enzyme at a specific temperature will be dependent on both the temperature the enzyme is operating at as well as the concentrations of the substrates (the starting materials of the reaction that the enzyme catalyzes) and products (the end materials of the reaction) present around the enzyme. However, as a general rule, the activity of an enzyme will be different at at 5 centigrade than it will be at 25 centigrade.


Which enzyme in tears kills germs?

Your tears contain the enzyme lysozyme. This enzyme acts by disrupting the cell-walls of gram-positive bacteria by digesting the peptidoglycan in them, thereby preventing infection. This enzyme is also found in your saliva and is an example of a non-specific immune response.


Which enzyme regulates the reaction represented by the word equation?

The enzyme catalase regulates the reaction represented by the word equation "hydrogen peroxide -> water + oxygen." Catalase helps break down hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen in cells.


What enzyme is involved that breaks down hydrogen peroxide?

The enzyme responsible for breaking down hydrogen peroxide is catalase. Catalase converts hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. This enzyme helps to prevent the accumulation of toxic levels of hydrogen peroxide in cells.


What enzyme breaks down water and minerals in digestion?

The enzyme that breaks down water and minerals in digestion is called salivary amylase, which is found in saliva. Salivary amylase helps to break down starches into simpler sugars, while also aiding in the breakdown of minerals present in food.


What is an anhydrase?

A chemical compound formed from another, often an acid, by the removal of water.


What happens to hydrogen peroxide in the body?

It gets rapidly broken down into oxygen and water by the enzyme peroxidase.


Hydrogen peroxide is part of what enzyme system?

Catalases are enzymes that catalyse the conversion of hydrogen peroxide to water.
