1. It is not used up and does not change shape in a reaction.
2. It is used to speed up a reaction
3. Will only bind to another molecule as long as the enzyme substrate complex can form(see lock and key theory)
One of the unique characteristics of retrotransposons is that they code for an enzyme that synthesizes DNA using an RNA template.
The partition ratio for an enzyme is the equilibrium distribution of the enzyme between aqueous and non-aqueous phases in a two-phase system. It is influenced by factors such as enzyme characteristics, substrate concentration, pH, temperature, and solvent composition. Understanding the partition ratio is important for enzyme extraction, purification, and industrial applications.
Alterations in enzyme levels, tissue abnormalities, and organ malfunction may be followed by illness and death.
An enzyme is a protein, so is in its most basic form, a string of amino acids. However, hydrogen bonds between molecules in the string make the chain fold into a large, bundled shape that will have an 'active site' that will only allow bonding one specific substrate.
The optimal pH for an enzyme's activity varies depending on the specific enzyme in question. Generally, most enzymes function best at a pH close to neutral (around pH 7), while others may have optimal activity in more acidic (pH 4-6) or alkaline (pH 8-10) conditions. For accurate information, it's essential to refer to the specific enzyme's characteristics or experimental data.
its low activity in obese people explains, in part, the inability to mobilize storage fate for energy when following an energy-restricted diet.
enzyme-substrate complex
in an enzyme-substrate complex, the enzyme acts on the substrate .
An enzyme is a protein
the lipase enzyme :)
An angiotensin converting enzyme is an enzyme which catalyzes the creation of angiotensin.
The place where the substrate and the enzyme meet to allow the enzyme to function.
