What is it about enzymes that determines which reaction they catalyse?

Enzymatic reactions depend on the concentration of the substrate. Once all active sites become filled, the output of product obviously depends on something else. This could be the pH of the solution, the temperature of the solution, or many other factors. Usually, higher temperature means high kinetic energy (motion) of molecules and faster reaction times. However, too hot of a temperature can denature the enzymes active site. Also, different enzymes work more or less efficiently in different pH levels. Also, the overall affinity for the substrate by the enzyme influences the rate. Inhibitors can also affect rates.

Hydrogen peroxide is part of what enzyme system?
Catalases are enzymes that catalyse the conversion of hydrogen peroxide to water.
Why is permanganate estimation completed in acid?
it provides the H+ ions to catalyse the reaction
Why is permanganate estimation completed in acid solution?
it provides the H+ ions to catalyse the reaction
How do enzymes speed up chemical reactions?
Enzymes lower the activation energy of a chemical reaction.
How do enzymes speed up biochemical reaction?
Enzymes speed up biochemical reactions by lowering the activation energy of the reaction.
How do enzymes catalyse reactions?
Enzymes catalyse biochemical reaction by lowering the activation energy.
What does reusable enzymes mean?
Enzymes aren't used up or denatured after they catalyse a reaction.
Is enzymes slow the rate of reaction?
Actually, enzymes are typically used to catalyse a biological reaction, leading to a faster reaction rate, not slower.
How are enzymes involved in chemical reaction?
Usually enzymes have the role to catalyse a reaction. That means they aren't changed at all, but they influence the mechanism to reduce the activation energy (the energy needed for the reaction). The reaction is therefore performed more easily. To put it very simply: It speeds up a chemical reaction.
What does the presence of an enzyme cause?
Enzymes are biological catalysts which cause the rate of a reaction to increase (by providing an alternate reaction pathway with a lower activation enthalpy). They are very specific to the reaction they catalyse.
What is the end product of arginine hydrolysis?
The end products of the hydrolysis of Arginine are Orthinine and urea, several enzymes catalyse this reaction the easiest to remember is arginase.
Why enzymes are called hydrolytic enzymes?
Careful! Not all enzymes are hydrolytic. Hydrolytic enzymes catalyse reactions in which there is breaking of molecules (involving the participation of water molecules). There are enzymes which catalyse reactions in which molecules join together to form a larger molecule (condensation reactions)
What do organisms contain to catalyse hydrolysis reactions in cells?
Enzymes.
How does the lock and key help analogy explain enzymes?
just like keys will open a particular lock, enzymes will catalyse only a particular reaction.
What is the function of the enzyme catalyse?
is to catalyse or increase the rate of reaction without any change in itself .
What bioorganic molecule are enzymes made of?
Enzymes are produced by living cells which catalyse the biochemical reactions.
The role of chloropyhll in photosynthesis is to?
catalyse the reaction.
