What is enzyme and active sites?

Enzymes are biochemical catalyst that are chemically proteins. Active site is a place where the enzymatic chemical reaction takes place.


What is an example of a catalyst in a sentence?

This compound is an active homogeneous epoxidation catalyst in its own right.


Why am enzyme can be used to catalyst a large quantity of substrate?

Many times enzymes have multiple active sites that allow for many simultaneous reactions. For example, it's possible to have a fourth of the number of enzymes as substrate molecules, but the enzyme may have four active sites, resulting in one active site per substrate molecule.


Where do reactants bind to the enzyme?

They bind in the active site.


A substance which helps a reaction to take place but that does not take an active part is a?

A substance which helps with chemical reactions, by making them possible at all, or reducing the effort required, is a catalyst.


What MMC is used to create sites?

What is the chemical symbol for platinum oxide?

Platinum dioxide, also known as Adams' catalyst, is usually represented as platinum(IV) oxide hydrate, PtO2-H2O. It is a catalyst for hydrogenation and hydrogenolysis in organic synthesis. This dark brown powder is commercially available. The oxide itself is not an active catalyst, but it becomes active after exposure to hydrogen whereupon it converts to platinum black, which is responsible for reactions.

Why do you say that an enzyme is reusable?

Yes, an enzyme is reusable. Remember that a catalyst speeds up a reaction or lowers the activation energy without being chemically altered in the reaction. An enzyme is simply a biological catalyst so it does not change during the reaction.The only way to change an enzyme and make it unusable is if it becomes exposed to high temperatures and becomes denatured.This means the active site is damaged and the enzyme is no longer able to attach to substrates and catalyse the reaction.


Do catalysts speed up a chemical reaction or slow it down?

A catalyst works by providing a reaction route with a lower activation energy. An inhibitor slows a reaction and can work in several ways, for instance by tying up one of the reactants. We also use the term when we say catalyst inhibitor, which is something which binds to the active sites on a heterogeneous catalyst.


What are the catalyst found in living cells called?

Catalysts that are active working in the body are called enzymes.
