What is the key feature of a protein or enzyme that makes its function correctly?

The most important feature that makes functional to a protein or an enzyme is its three dimensional structure based on its tertiary structure. Either, a structural protein, where alpha helices and beta sheets are vital to its function, or an enzyme, where the shape of its active site is crucial for its biological activity, the tertiary structure is the most important characteristic. In fact, the process called "protein folding" is one of the key biochemical areas of study for the scientific community.

Why does the structure of a protein or enzyme determine its function?
Yes.
What are the functions of enzyme linked receptors?
Most enzyme-linked receptors function as protein kinases.
What does it mean when the enzyme becomes denatured?
An enzyme is a folded protein. When this folded protein becomes denatured, it essentially stops working. It can not function due to high temperatures or wrong pH.
What kind of molecule is an enzyme-?
The type of molecule that is an enzyme is a protein molecule.
What is a function of enzyme protein for example hexokinase?
Hexokinase is an enzyme involved in the phosphorylation of hexose (five carbon sugar). It speeds the process on adding a phosphorus to the sugar.
Why does the structure of a protein or enzyme determine its function?
Yes.
What are the functions of enzyme linked receptors?
Most enzyme-linked receptors function as protein kinases.
Is renin a hormone?
by function is enzyme ... by structure is hormone
What does it mean when the enzyme becomes denatured?
An enzyme is a folded protein. When this folded protein becomes denatured, it essentially stops working. It can not function due to high temperatures or wrong pH.
What modifications of conditions would be appropriate if the enzyme were to be used?
Physiological conditions, such as correct pH and heat in which the enzyme is able to function correctly, are required.
What kind of molecule is an enzyme-?
The type of molecule that is an enzyme is a protein molecule.
What is a function of enzyme protein for example hexokinase?
Hexokinase is an enzyme involved in the phosphorylation of hexose (five carbon sugar). It speeds the process on adding a phosphorus to the sugar.
What happens when enzyme reaches optimal temperature?
The optimal function of the enzyme is impeded and if the temperature rises too high the enzyme, mostly protein, will degrade and become useless.
Does enzyme has proteins?
An enzyme is a protein
What is a protein and what is it made up of?
I protein is something that is made up of Amino Acids and usually has some sort of function in a cell such as being a membrane receptor or an enzyme.
which only one enzyme is non protein in nature?
Pepsin) whereas other enzymes are composed of both protein part and non-protein part. The complete enzyme molecule (with both protein part and non-protein part) is known as holo-enzyme. The protein part is known as Apo-enzyme Non- protein part may be co-factor or co-enzyme
Perhaps the most common enzyme on earth is?
RuBisCO is the most common protein on Earth. This protein is an enzyme.
