Enzymes are almost all proteins. They are often globular proteins. We can describe them in terms of their primary, secondary, tertiary and quaternary structure. They are long chains of amino acid units held together by peptide bonds, looped and folded into secondary and tertiary structures by disulfide bonds, hydrophobic interactions, and salt bridges.

What are some factors that could impact the function of an enzyme?
This depends on the enzyme. Temperature, pH, and the presence of co-factors, or allosteric inhibitors.
What influences the rate of enzyme function?
pH, temperature, salt concentration are just some of the factors
What are the enzymes in siliva?
You have probably only one important enzyme, that is present in saliva. That is called as 'Ptyalin'. This enzyme brakes down the carbohydrates to sugar. This enzyme continue to act in stomach also for some time, till acid in the stomach makes the enzyme ineffective.
A structure in some bacteria that is resistant to adverse environmental factors is a?
endospore
What are type of geologic structure?
Folds,Faults,Joints and Un-comformities are some important Geological Structure.
What are some factors that could impact the function of an enzyme?
This depends on the enzyme. Temperature, pH, and the presence of co-factors, or allosteric inhibitors.
What are some enzyme co factors?
One is cofactor A.
What are some environmental enzyme factors?
Enzymes are catalysts that speed up chemical reactions. Some environmental factors that can affect enzyme activity are temperature and pH levels.
What are some factors that affect enzyme speed?
Substance concentration, enzyme concentration, temperature and PH level
What are some factors that can affect the shape of an enzyme?
Locamotion, cell movement, biosynthesis
What influences the rate of enzyme function?
pH, temperature, salt concentration are just some of the factors
What causes enzyme specificity?
The enzyme's surface folds are complementary to the substrate's surface folds.
How does heat denature enzymes?
Many things can denature proteins. Proteins have different optimal ranges in pH and temperature and outside of these optima then the enzyme will not work as well or at all. Also specific detergents will denature an enzyme depending on the enzyme.
Substances that plug up an enzyme's active site are?
Blocking of enzyme activity depends on various factors such as concentration of substrates, pH, temperature, some durgs. As for example rifampicin durg blocks RNA polymerase II activity.
What factors increase the rates of enzyme-controlled reactions?
** TEMPERATURE ** pH LEVEL ** PARTICLE SIZE ** SUBSTRATE CONCENTRATION
What are the enzymes in siliva?
You have probably only one important enzyme, that is present in saliva. That is called as 'Ptyalin'. This enzyme brakes down the carbohydrates to sugar. This enzyme continue to act in stomach also for some time, till acid in the stomach makes the enzyme ineffective.
Molecule that binds to an enzyme?
a substrate =================================== or an "interacting molecule".
