What is the theory that describes how an enzyme works or bonds?

The theory of the enzyme is really quite simple-patronisingly easy really. So firstly we start off with the Lipese enzyme which breaks down fat-quite usefull really with todays growing obeseity epidemic, then we move on to carbohydrase enzyme which breaks down carbohydrate-(people which suffer from Diabetes lack in this particular enzyme). Expert scientists believe that in a few years the number of enzymes in the body will rapidly increase.

What is the true relationship between pH and enzyme action?
The enzyme has an optimal point of pH at which the enzyme works best. For example a catalase enzyme works best in a pH of 7. When the pH changes it denatures the enzyme causing it to not be able to react with the substrate.
What happens to the enzyme after the substrate is changed?
enzyme works as a catalyst before and after the reaction it is preserved
What is the optimum temperature for enzyme 2?
55 CThis enzyme works best at a temperature of 50 C and a pH of 12.If the enzyme will be above this temperature, it will denature.
What enzyme works in conjunction with Atp to produce bioluminescence?
Luciferase.
Which enzyme shows the greatest change in its rate of action with the least change in pH?
The enzyme with lowest pH optimum is pepsin. Pepsin works in the stomach in an acidic environment and aids in digestion.
What is the name of the theory that describes how an enzyme works?
Lock and Key hypothesis
How might very low pH affect an enzyme's hydrogen bonds?
A very low pH can break the hydrogen bonds in an enzyme which causes the shape of the enzyme to change shape making the enzyme unable to do it's job. This is called "denaturation" However some enzymes such as pepsin only work in a low pH (pepsin works best in a pH of about 3) so it does depend on the enzyme.
What term describes reactants when they associated with enzymes?
if you mean what do you call the substance that an enzyme works on then that's called a substrate
Is matter made up of tiny strings?
At the subsubsubstomic level, possibly; string theory describes how that works.
What does the shape of an enzyme have to do with how well the enzyme works?
The shape allows the enzyme to carry out specific chemical reactions.
Who does the substrate work on enzyme action?
The substrate is the molecule(s) that an enzyme works on
What is the thing an enzyme works on?
Substrate
What describes describes music theory?
Music theory is the study of how music works. It examines the language and notation of music. It seeks to identify patterns and structures in composers' techniques, across or within genres, styles, or historical periods.
What are coemzymes?
These are either a vitamin or mineral that works with an enzyme. The enzyme doesn't work without it (them).
The pH at which an enzyme works best can vary greatly from one enzyme to the other?
true
What happens to the enzyme after the reaction is complete?
enzyme works as a catalyst before and after the reaction it is preserved
What is the true relationship between pH and enzyme action?
The enzyme has an optimal point of pH at which the enzyme works best. For example a catalase enzyme works best in a pH of 7. When the pH changes it denatures the enzyme causing it to not be able to react with the substrate.
