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.
What happen to the active site when the enzyme denatures?
The action going on that site will slow down.
Does temperature change the active site of an enzyme?
the deptide would digest slower or not at all.
How does the three-dimensional structure of trypsin affect its action as an enzyme?
it allows an inhibitor to block the active site of the enzyme
How At high temperatures the rate of enzyme action decreases because the increased heat?
alters the active site of the enzyme
At high temperatures the rate of enzyme action decreases because the increased heat?
alters the active site of the enzyme
Although trypsin is a proteolytic enzyme it does not digest the tissue in which it is produced?
Trypsin is produced in the Duodenum . The enzyme trypsin is a serine protease which is active at a pH of 8 and at a temp optima of 37 degrees. The pH of the duodenum is around 6-6.5 which is not enough for the kinetic activation of the enzyme. Hence it is inactive in its production site wheras the condition is just optimum for its action in the pancreas.
What is the site of action for trypsin?
Enzyme trypsin is one of the enzymes that plays part during the process of digestion. Its site of action is in the small intestine where it breaks protein to large peptides.
What happens at the active site of an enzyme?
the substrate bonds to the enzyme at the active site
Why do humans have so many emzines?
We have LOTS of enzymes to speed up all the different reactions that happen in the human body Each sort of enzyme can only speed up one specific reaction (eg. lipase can only break down fats). This is because their active site will only fit a specific sort of molecule. However, the body needs to carry out lots of processes: it needs to digest fats, proteins and carbohydrates, it needs to build new molecules... And it needs an enzyme which is specific to those reactions.
What is the site on the surface of an enzyme where a reactant binds to the enzyme is called?
The active site
What is an enzyme's active site?
An enzyme's active site is a groove or dip in the enzyme that is shaped for a particular substrate to attach to.
