What are the deep folds in an enzyme called?
Active sites.
Parts of the enzyme molecule that interact with a substrate are called?
active sites
How does poison interfere with enzyme function?
Generally, poison covalently bonds to the active sites of an enzyme. This will render it useless to any proteins that want to connect to it.
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.
Why hydroxylamine reduces ability of enzyme to break down hydrogen peroxide?
Hydroxylamine is a competitive inhibitor. It fits onto the active site(the place where chemical reactions occur on an enzyme) of an enzyme, but it does not react. This causes the hydroxylamine to compete with the normal substrate for the active sites on the enzymes.
What are the deep folds in an enzyme called?
Active sites.
Why would a factor that changes the shape of an enzyme prevent it from functioning?
Enzymes are biologically active molecules with specific "active sites", a good analogy is a key and its characteristic notches. If the factor modifies the enzyme's shape then the locations of the enzyme's "active sites" (notches, so to speak) may also be changed, or the sites may be deleteriously affected. Thus the functionality of the enzyme is impaired.
Parts of the enzyme molecule that interact with a substrate are called?
active sites
How does an enzyme's active sites relate to its substrate?
Their Shapes Fit Snugly Together.
How does poison interfere with enzyme function?
Generally, poison covalently bonds to the active sites of an enzyme. This will render it useless to any proteins that want to connect to it.
How TCA stop reaction of alkaline protease?
it binds to the active sites of the enzyme and does not allow substrate to bind with it
Why am enzyme can be used to catalyst a large quantity of substrate?

Why is the active site on a cell important?
Active sites are located in enzymes inside the cells. this is where the substrate binds itself to the enzyme and the reaction takes place.
Why hydroxylamine reduces ability of enzyme to break down hydrogen peroxide?
Hydroxylamine is a competitive inhibitor. It fits onto the active site(the place where chemical reactions occur on an enzyme) of an enzyme, but it does not react. This causes the hydroxylamine to compete with the normal substrate for the active sites on the enzymes.
How does iron effect enzyme function?
the iron ions will enter other types active sites then it will not melt down
What happens at the active site of an enzyme?
the substrate bonds to the enzyme at the active site
What is the place where the substrate attaches to the enzyme?
The active site of an enzyme is the site where substrates undergo the reaction specfic to that enzyme.
