How does temperature affects activity?
The enzyme activity increases as the temperature rises due to the substrates colliding with the enzymes' active sites more frequently at higher temperatures. However, each enzyme has an optimum temperature as high temperatures denature enzymes.
Is temperature a factor that affects enzyme activity?
yes. at low temperature enzymes won't work as effectively, and at high temperature enzymes are denatured.
What can a fever slow down?
enzymes best function at optimum temperature for human body optimum temperature is 37 C, raise in optimum temperature affects the function of enzymes and with very high temperature enzyme activity ceases. high temperature also affects proteins resulting in protein structural changes. fever slow down the enzyme activity.
What is the test for Sandhoff disease?
Because Sandhoff disease and Tay-Sachs disease have similar clinical symptoms, distinguishing them requires biochemical analysis. This involves a test to measure enzyme activity of the two hexosaminidase enzymes.
Is methanol and pyridine can be used with enzymes without losing their activity?
what i know is enzymes are denatured in organic solvents loosing their activity.
How is Sandhoff disease different from Tay-Sachs?
In Tay-Sachs disease, a mutation that affects the alpha subunit of the enzyme causes a deficiency in HexA. Sandhoff disease is caused by mutations that affect the beta subunit, rendering both the HexA and HexB enzymes deficient.
What type of catalyst affects biochemical reaction?
Enzymes
What is a protein that affects reaction rates?
These are called enzymes.
What activity level are enzymes affected by?
Temperture
How does salt affect enzymes?
Salt concentration affects all enzymes differently. Depending on the situation, salt concentration has the ability to precipitate or unfold the enzyme. It also has the ability to disrupt hydrogen binding and binding to ionic residues decreasing, which could increase the activity of the enzyme.
What are the enzymes in your body and what are their reaction that they affects in the body?
There are 1000's of enzymes in the body. In a biochemical pathway there maybe be multiple enzymes used! for examply, glycolysis..
What conditions affects the function of enzymes?
The activity of an enzyme is affected by temperature, pH and the concentration of the substrate.
