Maltase is an enzyme which works on the substrate maltose. Maltose is a sugar consisting of two glucose subunits.
What else can I help you with?
By what does the enzyme function to increase the rate of a reaction?
hydrolyzing the substrate
What is the function of Substrate in MOSFET?
it will control the flow of electrons between the source and drain,the controlling will be depends upon the input voltage to the substrate.
What is the function of the short flagellum?
Short flagellum is concerned with substrate attachment.
How many functions does one enyme have?
One function. A enzyme is particular about it's substrate, so the enzyme can catalyze one reaction by lowering that reaction's activation energy.
What is the active site for an enzyme?
The place where the substrate and the enzyme meet to allow the enzyme to function.
What are the three factors that impact enzyme function?
The three factors that impact enzyme function are temperature, pH level, and substrate concentration.
Is a substrate an enzyme?
No, a substrate is the molecule that the enzyme acts upon to catalyze a reaction. Enzymes are proteins that function as biological catalysts, helping to speed up chemical reactions by lowering the activation energy.
How does an an enzymes active site relate to its substrate?
The active site is the specific region of the enzyme which combines with the substrate. The binding of the substrate to the enzyme causes changes in the distribution of electrons in the chemical bonds of the substrate and ultimately causes the reactions that lead to the formation of products.
What is a coenzyme and what is its function?
temporary carriers of atoms being removed from or added to a substrate during a reaction.
What determines an enzyme function and how many functions does one enzyme have?
An enzyme has only one substrate that it works with so it has only one function. This is called a lock and key mechanism. Other things can affect the enzyme such as temperature, pH level and levels of either the substrate or the products. High temperature can denature the enzyme (they are proteins). They can not fit the lock (substrate).
What is the part of the enzyme called that has a specific shape to fit with a specific substrate?
The part of the enzyme with a specific shape to bind with a specific substrate is called the active site. This is where the enzyme and substrate interact to form an enzyme-substrate complex, leading to catalysis of the reaction. The specificity of this interaction is crucial for the enzyme to carry out its biological function.
What refers to the situation in which the binding of a substrate to the enzyme causes a change in the enzymes shape facilitating an enzymes function?
This situation is known as induced fit. When a substrate binds to an enzyme, the enzyme's shape can change to better accommodate the substrate, creating a more optimal environment for the catalytic reaction to occur. This induced fit mechanism helps enzymes to be more specific and efficient in their function.
