pH, temperature, other proteins, and atoms. affect the shapes of enzymes. pH affects the configuration of proteins by the way the hydrogen ions interact with exposed charged atoms. Extreme ph can denature or alter the native shape. Temperature can also affect the shapes of proteins. High temps can also denature proteins and often break off fragments due to the energy. Extremely low temps can cause freezing into lattice/crystal shapes as well. Other proteins can alter other proteins due to the interactions of surface atoms and charges. Atoms can also change protein structure due to the electrical charges which redistribute over the molecule. Metal atoms can act as catalysts which affects the energy needed to cause a reaction to take place.
What else can I help you with?
How pH levels affect enzymes?
It disrupts an enzymes shape and structure.
What are two things that can affect the enzymes shape?
Salt concentration and the pH! also the temperature and activations and inhibitors affect an enzymes actions
What changes are enzymes sensitive to?
Enzymes are sensitive to changes in temperature, pH levels, and substrate concentration. These factors can affect the enzyme's shape and ability to function effectively.
How do pH level affect respiration?
pH levels can affect respiration by influencing the activity of enzymes involved in the process. Changes in pH can alter the shape and function of enzymes, leading to fluctuations in respiration rates. Extreme pH levels can denature enzymes, disrupting respiration and overall cellular function.
Are enzymes still functional after losing their shape?
enzymes are still functional after losing their shape as they depend onn their shape
How does substrate concentration and pH affect enzymes?
Substrate concentration will affect enzymes because substrates are specific to enzymes. The pH will affect enzymes because certain enzymes will work better in certain pH levels.
What do acids and bases do to enzymes?
Acids and bases can denature enzymes by disrupting their shape and changing the active site where substrates bind. This alteration can prevent enzymes from catalyzing reactions effectively. pH changes can also affect the ionization of amino acid side chains, influencing enzyme activity.
What can effect how the enzyme and substrate come together?
Factors such as temperature, pH, substrate concentration, and the presence of inhibitors or activators can affect how enzymes and substrates come together. Changes in these factors can alter the shape and activity of enzymes, impacting their ability to bind with substrates and catalyze reactions.
Do enzymes change shape after reaction occurs?
no
How enzymes affect reactions?
Enzymes lower the activation energy required for reactions to occur
Do all enzymes have the same shape as their substrates?
Yes.
Do enzymes help a cell maintain its shape?
yes they do.
