Does the shape of an enzyme protein determine specificity?
Shape of an enzyme specifically shape of its active site determines enzyme specificity .
What can effect how an enzyme works by changing the enzyme's shape?
Enymes can change shape when it denatures. An enzyme can denature if it's not at the pH or temperature that it's used to. A denatured enzyme can no longer function (an enzyme's funcion: to speed up/cause chemical reactions fast enough for a living thing to survive).
What does enzymes functions depend on?
The function of an enzyme is dependent on the shape of the enzyme. The structure and shape determines what the enzyme can do.
What part of the enzyme gives each enzyme its unique function?
i think it's the shape of the active site, the region where the enzyme comes into direct contact with the substrate. the shape of the active site is in turn determined by the structure of the enzyme, which is determined by the number and sequence of amino acids in the primary strucutre.(note that pH affects the shape of the active site as well.) just my guess.
What can effect how the enzyme and substrate come together?
Shape of substrate, shape of the enzyme, Competitive, noncompetitive and allosteric inhibitors.
When the noncompetitive inhibitor is bonded to the enzyme?
The shape of the active site is distorted.
What else can effect how an enzyme works by changing the enzyme's shape can the reaction still take place?
invalid question!

What is an enzyme called when it changes shape?
An enzyme is called a denatured enzyme once it changes its shape.

How might very low pH affect an enzyme's hydrogen bonds?
A very low pH can break the hydrogen bonds in an enzyme which causes the shape of the enzyme to change shape making the enzyme unable to do it's job. This is called "denaturation" However some enzymes such as pepsin only work in a low pH (pepsin works best in a pH of about 3) so it does depend on the enzyme.

True or False The shape of an enzyme allows it to do its job?
It is true that the shape of an enzyme is what allows it to do it's job.
What can effect how the enzyme and substrate come together?
Shape of substrate, shape of the enzyme, Competitive, noncompetitive and allosteric inhibitors.
Do an enzyme And its substrate fit together like a lock and key?
Enzymes are proteins that have a very specific structure. The region on the surface of an enzyme that is responsible for binding and converting the subtract into the product is called the active site.
What characteristic allows enzymes to function in a specfic way?
Each enzyme has a characteristic shape
