The particular region of an enzyme molecule that combines with the substrate it acts upon is called what?
The area where a molecule other than substrate can attach is called the allosteric site.
What is the advantage of enzymes not being used up in reactions?
Let say enzyme 1 has a shape of A. When it encounters a solute particle of shape A', enzyme jumps on the particle so to speak changing its shape to A'' and back to A' in less than nano second and when that shape change happens the solute particle becomes highly unstable and now can react with other solute particles and hence carry out the reaction. Enzyme jumps on substrate --> substrate unstable --> enzyme jumps back out of substrate --> unstable substrate reacts with another substrate.
What is the active site on a substrate?
Enzymes and substrates will bind together to catalyse chemical reactions. The spot on the enzyme where the substrate will bind is called the active site of the enzyme. The enzyme and the substrate are usually a pretty close fit, hence the naming of the induced fit model.
Is an enzyme a substance?
Yes, an enzyme is a substance, an organic substance, because it is a protein, and all proteins contain carbon, which is the definition of an organic substance. I had to find this out for Biology GCSE and found that not many people actually knew. Hope it helps :O)
Why am enzyme can be used to catalyst a large quantity of substrate?
Many times enzymes have multiple active sites that allow for many simultaneous reactions. For example, it's possible to have a fourth of the number of enzymes as substrate molecules, but the enzyme may have four active sites, resulting in one active site per substrate molecule.
Where is protease used?
A protease is an enzyme that helps the process to break down proteins. Any word with -ase at the end is an enzyme. The rest of the word is the substrate or what is acted upon.
Calculation fraction of enzyme bound to substrate?
The calculation fraction of enzyme bound to substrate is used when determining the Michaelisâ??Menten equation. It is widely used in the enzyme kinetics.
Why is the secondary antibody used in an ELISA test conjugated with an enzyme?
So that when the substrate is added, the reaction between the enzyme and the substrate will cause a change in color
How does an enzyme recognize its substrate?
On one part of an enzyme is an active site (which is what the substrate binds to) that is shaped a certain way, say a triangle. A substrate that's in the shape of a square won't fit onto the triangle/the enzyme - but a substrate that has an indent in the shape of a triangle will. The way an enzyme recognizes its substrate is if it can attach itself to the enzyme's active site.
Can enzymes be reused and convert more substrate to product?
after a substrate and enzyme have bonded and done their chemical reaction, they seperate. thus leaving a free enzyme again. hence another substrate will take its place.
What is the difference between substrate and product?
The substrate is the substance (or substances) that attaches to the enzyme's active site before the reaction occurs.The product is the substance (or substances) that is formed after the enzyme has worked on the substrate.///
The particular region of an enzyme molecule that combines with the substrate it acts upon is called what?
The area where a molecule other than substrate can attach is called the allosteric site.
What is the purpose of GUAIACOL?
Guaicol is used as a substrate for peroxidase activity, when we treat it with enzyme the activity of enzyme increases at a higher rate.
What is the substrate of an enzyme?
One of the multiple compound used as reactants, that the enzyme makes react faster thatn they normally would
Which hypothesis most likely explains the results at 60C and 70C in relative rate of enzyme action?
The substrate has changed shape because of the high temperature.
What do you know about the consumption of an enzyme during a metabolic reaction in the body?
Enzymes are specialized proteins that facilitate chemical reactions in the body by lowering their activation energy, or the energy required to initiate a reaction. They are never consumed by the reaction themselves; therefore, enzymes can be re-used many times. Enzymes are specific to a particular substrate and usually facilitate the reaction by undergoing a conformational change when encountering the substrate, transforming it into a product or an intermediate.
What is the advantage of enzymes not being used up in reactions?
Let say enzyme 1 has a shape of A. When it encounters a solute particle of shape A', enzyme jumps on the particle so to speak changing its shape to A'' and back to A' in less than nano second and when that shape change happens the solute particle becomes highly unstable and now can react with other solute particles and hence carry out the reaction.
