The shape of the active site is very important because it determines the efficiency of the specific enzyme. If an active site shifts, the substrate can no longer bind to an enzyme's active site, therefore causing inefficiency. We say that the enzyme is undergoing denaturation.
The active site of an enzyme us the site that recognizes and binds to said enzyme's substrate. In biochemistry, a substrate is the molecule an enzyme acts upon, hence it follows that if an enzyme has lost its active site (or it has been deleteriously modified by a mutation), it will not be able to catalyze its function.
Yes, enzyme structure is important because the active site of an enzyme is specifically shaped to bind to the substrate. This specificity allows only certain substrates to fit into the active site and form an enzyme-substrate complex. The binding of the substrate to the enzyme is crucial for catalyzing the chemical reaction that the enzyme facilitates.
i think it's the shape of the active site, the region where the enzyme comes into direct contact with the substrate. the shape of the active site is in turn determined by the structure of the enzyme, which is determined by the number and sequence of amino acids in the primary strucutre.(note that pH affects the shape of the active site as well.) just my guess.
Enzymes are proteins, which are made up of amino acids. Each enzyme has a different sequence of amino acids and changing even one amino acid will mean that the tertiary structure of the enzyme will be lost and so will it's active site. As enzymes are substrate specific, only a certain substrate will bind to its active site, due to its amino acid sequence determining the shape of the active site.
The most important feature that makes functional to a protein or an enzyme is its three dimensional structure based on its tertiary structure. Either, a structural protein, where alpha helices and beta sheets are vital to its function, or an enzyme, where the shape of its active site is crucial for its biological activity, the tertiary structure is the most important characteristic. In fact, the process called "protein folding" is one of the key biochemical areas of study for the scientific community.
Yes, enzymes are proteins and it is their sequence of amino acids (primary structure) that determines what kind of an enzyme it is and makes all the enzymes unique and it is the tertiary structure of enzymes that maintains their shape and give rise to the unique active site. When an enzyme is denatured, it loses its tertiary structure and therefore its shape.

The active site is part of an enzyme where substrates bind and undergo a chemical reaction.
Montreal is an island, so the shape on Montreal is the shape of the island.
it is important because the shape of h2o2 must be complementary to the shape of the active site of the calase enzyme. Enzyme substarate complex can be formed and enzyme product complex can then be formed. If h202 shape was not complementary of the shape of the active site of catalase h202 could not be broken down into water and oxygen. Without the enzyme present it would take days for the h202 to break down. It would eventually break but it would take a long time. So the shape is important because without h202 would not be able to bind with the active site.
Mark scheme: - Many different sorts of proteins - Different primary structure/sequences of amino acids - Tertiary structure - Shape; allowing formation of receptor/binding site/site into which substrate/substrate fits

Ribosomes are the only structure with definite size and shape in the cytoplasm. The ribosomes are the site at which amino acids are linked together to form proteins. They are the site of protein synthesis.

The site for protein synthesis is a cell structure. The specific structure in which synthesis occurs is the ribosomes, which is in the cytoplasm.
