An enzyme is a protein, so is in its most basic form, a string of amino acids.
However, hydrogen bonds between molecules in the string make the chain fold into a large, bundled shape that will have an 'active site' that will only allow bonding one specific substrate.

∙ 12y agothe ?point? of an enzyme. is that what you mean?
well, an enzyme is a biological catalyst. it speeds up cellular reactions (reactions that happen in cells i.e. respiration and protein synthesis) or
Enzymes are special proteins produced by our body which bring about or speed up certain chemical reations in our body like those involved in digestion

What are the characteristics of the lipoprotein lipase enzyme?
its low activity in obese people explains, in part, the inability to mobilize storage fate for energy when following an energy-restricted diet.
What is the Difference between enzyme and regulatory enzyme?
An enzyme is one kind of protein that can catalyze a specific reaction whereas a regulatory enzyme is the enzyme which can regulate a series of reaction which undergo in the living organism. So we can say every enzyme is not a regulatory one but the regulatory enzymes are obviously a special kind of enzyme.
What kind of molecule is an enzyme-?
The type of molecule that is an enzyme is a protein molecule.
How is a catalyst like platinum different from an enzyme?
Catalysts are compounds that change the speed of chemical reactions. An enzyme is a protein and also a catalyst. So an enzyme can be a catalyst, but a catalyst can't be an enzyme.
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.
One of the unique characteristics of retrotransposons is that?
One of the unique characteristics of retrotransposons is that they code for an enzyme that synthesizes DNA using an RNA template.
What are the characteristics of malnourished children?
Alterations in enzyme levels, tissue abnormalities, and organ malfunction may be followed by illness and death.
What are the characteristics of the lipoprotein lipase enzyme?
its low activity in obese people explains, in part, the inability to mobilize storage fate for energy when following an energy-restricted diet.
What can you do to regain the activity of the enzyme?
The enzyme is inactive at this point. New enzyme must be added to regain enzyme activity
What to enzymes do in an enzyme-substrate?
in an enzyme-substrate complex, the enzyme acts on the substrate .
Does enzyme has proteins?
An enzyme is a protein
What is the active site for an enzyme?
The place where the substrate and the enzyme meet to allow the enzyme to function.
What is an angiotensin converting enzyme?
An angiotensin converting enzyme is an enzyme which catalyzes the creation of angiotensin.
What enzyme is responsible for fat digestion?
the lipase enzyme :)
The binding together of an enzyme and a substrate forms a what?
enzyme-substrate complex
An enzyme that cuts double-stranded DNA at specific nucleotide sequences?
Such an enzyme is called a restriction endonuclease
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
