Several organs are responsible for making lots of enzymes. The liver makes dozens, but perhaps the most often referred-to organs are those in the digestive system: the small intestine and the pancreas. They release three broad types of enzyme - lipase, carbohydrase and protease. However, each of these three generic groups sub-divides into many, many specific enzymes, all responsible for a specific substrate.

Do proteins have enzymes?

Not all enzymes are proteins. In general they are globular proteins. Enzymes that are proteins are long, linear chains of amino acids that fold to produce a three-dimensional product. Most enzymes can be denaturated, which means that they can be unfolded and inactivated, (by heating or chemical denaturants, which disrupts the three-dimensional structure of the protein.) Depending on the type of the enzyme, denaturation may reversible or irreversible.


How many enzymes does the human body make?

"There are three classes of enzymes: metabolic enzymes, which run our bodies; digestive enzymes, which digest our food; and food enzymes from raw foods, which start food digestion. Our bodies are run using metabolic enzymes. Enzymes convert the food we eat into chemical structures that can pass through the cell membranes of the cells lining the digestive tract into the bloodstream."Enzymes: are proteins that act as catalysts in mediating and speeding up a specific chemical reaction.Check out this link on the "wisegeek" website:http://www.wisegeek.com/what-are-enzymes.htmIt suggests that there are an estimated 75,000 human enzymes.Quoted using http://www.fruitarian.com/ac/Enzymes.htm and Donovanits a stuffed up question and no one shoud be put threw this stuff in science heheh :)

What is the structure of enzymes in living cells?

Enzymes are typically structured as proteins with a specific three-dimensional shape that enables them to bind to and interact with specific molecules called substrates. This structure is crucial for the enzyme's function, as it determines the enzyme's catalytic activity and specificity. Additionally, enzymes may have co-factors or co-enzymes that are necessary for their activity.

What makes the enzymes for the small intestine?

The small intestine receives enzymes from the pancreas. It provides digestive enzymes for the breakdown of all three types of foods; carbohydrates, proteins, and fats.


How do you get protease enzymes out of saliva or the pancreas?

Do enzymes have three dimensional shapes?

Yes. Enzymes are like little blobs. They are three-dimensional, but microscopic in size.


Which group of organic molecules makes up enzymes?

Proteins are the main organic molecules that make up enzymes. Enzymes are typically composed of long chains of amino acids that are folded into specific three-dimensional shapes to carry out their biological functions.

Why would different enzymes have different temperature ranges with different optimal temperatures?

Well, it depends on where in the body the enzyme is located. however, all enzymes in the human body work within a very narrow temperature scale, they don't all have the exact same optimal temp, but they are close. for instance, enzymes in the scrotum have to be able to work at a temp three degrees or so lower than the average human body temperature.
