Why would a factor that changes the shape of an enzyme prevent it from functioning?

Enzymes are biologically active molecules with specific "active sites", a good analogy is a key and its characteristic notches. If the factor modifies the enzyme's shape then the locations of the enzyme's "active sites" (notches, so to speak) may also be changed, or the sites may be deleteriously affected. Thus the functionality of the enzyme is impaired.

How does the body functions to prevent someone bleeding to death if his blood vessels is cut open?
This involves the clotting mechanism. There are two pathways the intrinsic pathway and the extrinsic pathway. The intrinsic pathway is caused by a damaged surface. The extrinsic pathway is caused by trauma. It has a number of steps. Each step involves an enzyme or factor. Prothrombin changes to thrombin. Fibrinogen changes to fibrin. That produces a cross-linked fibrin clot. This blocks further bleeding.
What do enzyme-linked receptors and growth factor receptors have in common?
Enzyme-linked receptors and growth factor receptors have several things in common. They include a ligand-binding domain as well as a transmembrane domain.
How can strengthfenin prevent hypokinetic diseases?
Hypokinesis results in hypotonic muscles. In order to regain strength a regimen needs to be put in place that is a combination of nutrition and physical therapy. Prevention is also much the same, only dietary changes and moderate exercise would be recommended if there is no other factor influencing their ability to develop normal functioning, such as a neurological or metabolic disease or condition.
Could a lipid function as an enzyme?
No, there is no such report known. So far, proteins (may be together with co-factor) can only act as enzyme
The factor that changes in an experiment is the variable?
Yes.The answer that changes is the variable
Is platinum an enzyme?
Nope, it's an element. It's also a co-factor in something I can't remember the name of... However, definitely NOT an enzyme. Enzymes have to be proteins.
What factor would have the least effect on the rate at which an enzyme breaks down starch?
false
