What have effect on enzyme?
The major thing that has an effect on an enzyme is heat. If the enzyme is exposed to a large amount of heat than it denatures, which means that it is no longer functional. Enzymes work at their best at an OPTIMUM range, that is at about 30-35 degrees Celsius. The enzyme will denature at about 47-50 degrees Celsius.
How does the effect of freezing differ from the effect of boiling the enzyme?
Freezing doesn't effect the enzymes since freezing does not permanently affect enzyme structure. Boiling permanently changes the structure and can change the enzymes.
At 100 degrees the amylase does not function at all what happends to the enzyme?
Enzymes are proteins and temperature have profound effect on their activity. At 100 degree Celsius enzyme amylase denatures meaning its structure changes irreversibly. At that point it renders useless and cannot breakdown starch.
What effect does the lock and key process have on the enzyme structure?
Easily Explained thusly: When the key is in the lock the Enzyme has one Structure, and when the key is not in the lock the Enzyme has another Structure. Note that the presence of a key may either activate or deactivate an Enzyme, depending upon the conditions.
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 would be the effect on product formation if the enzyme were heated to a temperature of 100 degrees celsius for 10 minutes before repeating the experiment?
They would be stopped because the enzyme is denatured from the high temperature. High temperature usually speed them up, but after 45 degrees celsius it becomes denatured.
What effect does substrate and enzyme joining have on chemical bonding?
enzyme catalyze the biochemical reactions by lowering their activation energy. An enzyme which take part in such reaction wont be lost or gained any chemical structure and it would be the same after the reaction.
What happen to the enzyme after the enzyme is boiled?
They are said to be denatured.Their tritiary structure is lost.
What is the effect of hydrochloric acid on the enzyme activity?
Denature enzyme activity
Destruction of the structure of an enzyme is called what?
denaturation
What is the structure labeled A in each panel?
An enzyme
What is the effect of heat on enzymes?
To a certain point, heat will increase enzyme activity because more collisions will be taking place between the enzyme and substrates. However, if there is too much heat, an enzyme can denature (change its shape) and inactivate. This is caused because the increase in heat disrupts the bonds in the tertiary structure of the enzyme. Due to the disruption of bonds, the enzyme can no longer interact with the substrates.
