Most of our bodies enzymes are produced where?
The enzyme's surface folds are complementary to the substrate's surface folds.
What is the name given to the substance that an enzyme works on?
An enzyme will alter its substrate although the specific substrate depends on the enzyme.
Who does the substrate work on enzyme action?
The substrate is the molecule(s) that an enzyme works on
What is the role of enzymes in biological systems?
Enzymes are regulated with the use of Competitive Inhibitors and Noncompetitive Inhibitors. Basicly every enzyme has an active site where the substrate binds to and what an the first kind of inhibtor does is that it blocks the substrate from joining with the enzyme by attaching to the enzyme's active site. The other kind of inhibitor joins with the enzyme at another place not the active site. This makes the enzyme change shape so it cannot fit the substrate or it somehow makes the enzyme unable to catalize the reaction.~Draco
Where does an enzymes join with a substrate?
The enzyme substrate complex
What causes enzyme specificity?
The enzyme's surface folds are complementary to the substrate's surface folds.
Most of our bodies enzymes are produced where?
The enzyme's surface folds are complementary to the substrate's surface folds.
What happens after a substrate binds to an enzyme?
Substrate a reactant molecule that binds to an enzyme. It has a specific shape that is complementary in shape to the active site of the enzyme. Product the substance or substances produced by the reaction between the enzyme and substrate.
Why are the active site in the substrate and enzyme catalyzed reaction often compared to a lock and key?
Because both the enzyme and the substrate possess specific complementary geometric shapes that fit exactly into one another.
Why are the active site and the substrate in a enzyme catalyzed reaction often compared to a lock and key?
Because both the enzyme and the substrate possess specific complementary geometric shapes that fit exactly into one another.
Why is hair not an enzyme?
Hair like enzymes are made of protein. However for a protein to be an enzyme it must have a very specific tertiary structure (shape) and have an active site that has a complementary shape to part of its substrate molecule. ie the enzyme must fit with the thing that it breaks down The tertiary sructure of hair is not highly folded and does not have a complementary shape to a substrate molecule therefore it is not an enzyme
What to enzymes do in an enzyme-substrate?
in an enzyme-substrate complex, the enzyme acts on the substrate .
The binding together of an enzyme and a substrate forms a what?
enzyme-substrate complex
What is it called when and enzyme and substrate come together?
The binding of an enzyme and a substrate forms an enzyme-substrate complex. It lowers the activation energy of a chemical reaction
Is a substrate an enzyme?
NO. The enzyme acts on the substrate. The substrate is the chemical/compound being altered by the action of the enzyme. They are NOT the same.
What happens to bonds during the enzyme substrate complex?
Depends on which enzyme and which substrate, but it goes like this with any of them. Let's take amylum (starch, the substrate) and amylase (saliva, the enzyme). A enzyme binds itself to a substrate, and forms a enzyme substrate complex. The catalyzing powers of the enzyme makes the vulnerable connections in the amylum weak to make it break, which creates product(s) out of the amylum.
The substance acted upon by an enzyme is called its?
A substrate is the substance acted upon by an enzyme. The enzyme substrate complex is when an enzyme molecule combines with its substrates.
