Anything that denatures the protein will generally destroy its enzymatic action. Possibilities include heat, ethanol, organic acids, other enzymes (peptidases, for example), and many other things.

What are the required components of antioxidant enzyme systems?
The required components of the antioxidant enzyme systems are antioxidant minerals. Antioxidants are substances that help prevent damage to cells.
DNA cutting enzymes used in the repair of DNA damage?
DNA endonucleases are used to cut the DNA. They are specific enzyme that recognize the particular site of the DNA and digest them. DNA polymerase and DNA ligase are also involved in repairing DNA damage.
What is an enzyme and what does it do?
Enzymes are biological catalysts that alter the rate of reactions occurring in the cells. Enzymes are protein in nature. This means that high temperature or extreme pH can denature an enzyme and the damage is irreversible. Enzymes lower the activation energy of a reaction by providing an alternate path way that has lower activation energy.
What is the Difference between enzyme and regulatory enzyme?
An enzyme is one kind of protein that can catalyze a specific reaction whereas a regulatory enzyme is the enzyme which can regulate a series of reaction which undergo in the living organism. So we can say every enzyme is not a regulatory one but the regulatory enzymes are obviously a special kind of enzyme.
What kind of molecule is an enzyme-?
The type of molecule that is an enzyme is a protein molecule.
What are the effects of physical activity on enzyme activity?
Physical activity can alter the shape of enzyme which can cause damage or may the enzyme become inactive
Is temperature important to enzyme reactions?
Yes because if the heat is to hot it can damage the enzymes
What are the required components of antioxidant enzyme systems?
The required components of the antioxidant enzyme systems are antioxidant minerals. Antioxidants are substances that help prevent damage to cells.
Can the active site of an enzyme be damaged at very high pH levels?
The active site of an enzyme can very much be influenced and damaged by a very high pH level. An enzyme is a protein, and because of that it is very sensitive to pH levels. High pH can denature a protein, and thus "damage" the active site.
How does DNA reapair enzyme photolyase prevent skin cancer?
Ultraviolet light, when acting on DNA, can lead to covalent linking of adjacent pyrimidine bases. Such pyrimidine dimerization is mutagenic, but this damage can be repaired by an enzyme called photolyase.- Taylor Swift(:
Is Fabry disease life threatening?
yes it is. however fabrazyme (enzyme replacement therapy) can stop most major damage and prolong life.
How fibrin forms a clot?
Fibrin is a protein. When tissue damage results in bleeding, fibrinogen is converted at the wound into fibrin by the action of thrombin, a clotting enzyme.
Is pepsin a peptidase?
No. Pepsin is an enzyme that breaks down protein to peptides. Peptidase is another enzyme that breaks down peptides to amino acid. http://www.answers.com/topic/pepsin http://www.answers.com/topic/peptidase
What can you do to regain the activity of the enzyme?
The enzyme is inactive at this point. New enzyme must be added to regain enzyme activity
Is inherited autosomal recessive disorder in which a person lacks the enzyme that is necessary to break down a certain lipid in the brain resulting to brain damage?
Tay Sachs Disease
What to enzymes do in an enzyme-substrate?
in an enzyme-substrate complex, the enzyme acts on the substrate .
DNA cutting enzymes used in the repair of DNA damage?
DNA endonucleases are used to cut the DNA. They are specific enzyme that recognize the particular site of the DNA and digest them. DNA polymerase and DNA ligase are also involved in repairing DNA damage.
