What happens when an enzyme loses it's shape?
Its molecular shape is altered so the substrate cannot fit to its active site
What is the specific substance being acted upon by an enzyme?
fit into the active site on the enzyme
What fits with an enzyme to make a reaction occur?
The substrate fits into the enzyme, much the way a key fits in a lock. Sometimes there are other "modulators" that also fit in the enzyme.
What is enzyme decomposition?
hey i am not sure but i think it when a substrate fit into a enzyme and it is broken down to it similar form
Is the active side of an enzyme highly changeable portion of an enzyme that adapts to fit the substrates of various reactions?
When an enzyme binds to the appropriate substrate, subtle changes in the active site occur. This alteration of the active site is known as an induced fit.Induced fit enhances catalysis, as the enzyme converts substrate to product.Release of the products restores the enzyme to its original form. The enzyme can repeat this reaction over and over, as long as substrate molecules are present.
What happens to the rate of an enzyme controlled reaction when the substrate level is high and remains high?
the enzyme will change its shape to fit the substrate correctly
What is the difference between the lock and key model versus the induced fit model of the enzyme substrate complex?
The lock and key model means that the substrate must perfectly fit the enzyme, and the enzyme does not change. The induced fit model is different as when the substrate fits together with the enzyme, the enzyme itself will change to either join substrates together or break a substrate down.
How does an enzyme recognize its substrate?
On one part of an enzyme is an active site (which is what the substrate binds to) that is shaped a certain way, say a triangle. A substrate that's in the shape of a square won't fit onto the triangle/the enzyme - but a substrate that has an indent in the shape of a triangle will. The way an enzyme recognizes its substrate is if it can attach itself to the enzyme's active site.
What is a induced fit hypothesis?
a. The substrate can be altered so it is induced to fit into the enzyme's active site. b. The enzyme changes its shape slightly as it binds to the substrate. c. The enzyme is altered so it is induced to fit many different types of substrate. d. Several sites on an enzyme can be induced to act on a substrate.
What is a change in the shape of an enzyme allowing it to react effectively with a substrate is a what?
An induced fit is a change in the shape of an enzyme which allows it to react effectively with a substrate. The reason for the alteration is to speed up a chemical reaction.
What happens when an enzyme loses it's shape?
Its molecular shape is altered so the substrate cannot fit to its active site
How can induced fit influence the specificity of an enzyme?
Induced fit: is a more recent theory which suggests that the substrate attaches to the enzyme in a relatively accurate fit, then the enzyme moulds around it, then continues the chemically complex reaction. Lock and Key Mechanism: As obvious as the name states, the lock and key model is simply the substrate fitting acutely into the enzyme with no adjustments required to the enzyme. K.G. ;)
The specificity of an enzyme is due to its active siteThe active site is a shape only a certain?
An enzyme's active site will bind with only a specific substrate. Any other kind of substrate will be rejected by the active site.
What is the specific substance being acted upon by an enzyme?
fit into the active site on the enzyme
How does an enzyme's site relate to its substrate?
Their Shapes Fit Snugly Together.
What fits with an enzyme to make a reaction occur?
The substrate fits into the enzyme, much the way a key fits in a lock. Sometimes there are other "modulators" that also fit in the enzyme.
