How enzymes work including the role of the enzyme substracte complex?

enzymes are biological catalysts. they are tertiary proteins that are held together by hydrogen bonds, disulphide bridges and van der walls forces. these molecules then, have their own unique shape and so a unique active site. this active site is where the substrate binds to. usually only one substrate can bind to this active site making it very specific. when the substrate and enzyme join, they form the enzyme substrate complex. this complex is formed so that the substrate can be broken down for example into its constituent monomers that are useful to the body.

What does a Lactase enzyme look like?
Really really cool. This link will show you a Lactase Enzyme in complex with a Lactose molecule. Most browsers should be able to handle this: http://www.rcsb.org/pdb/explore.do?structureId=1JYN Have fun!
Substrate molecules bind to enzymes where?
The bind in the active site.
What is enzyme synthesis?
the production of enzymes by activity including combining chemicals, which is the definition of synthesis.
What is an enzyme product complex?
The temporary complex formed after an enzyme acts on its substrate.
How does the addition of urea affect the rate of enzyme reaction?
Urea denatures the enzyme as it disrupts the 3-D structure of the enzyme, this changes the shape of the enzymes' active site, thus meaning that the enzyme is unable to create an enzyme-substrate complex which then means that the reaction cannot occur thus the rate of the enzyme controlled reaction becomes very slow.
What to enzymes do in an enzyme-substrate?
in an enzyme-substrate complex, the enzyme acts on the substrate .
What is a group of enzymes that bind together?
enzyme complex
Where does an enzymes join with a substrate?
The enzyme substrate complex
The binding together of an enzymes and a substance forms what?
An enzyme-substrate complex.
What enzyme act on Lactose?
Rennet is a complex of enzymes that digest milk, the primary enzyme being chymosin or rennin.
What is amylase associated with?
Amylase is an enzyme. Almost all enzymes end with -ase. This enzyme works on complex carbohydrates to simple carbohydrates like sugars.

What are biologic catalyst?
Biological catalysts that are proteins are called enzymes. Enzymes bring the substrates together to form the enzyme-substrate complex, which leads to the generation of the products of the reaction.
How can you describe the enzyme-substrate complex?
Enzyme-substrate complex (or ES complex) is the key to understand the kinetic behavior of the enzymes. The ES complex represents just the starting point for the catalysis reaction.The kinetic pattern of enzymes was led by Victor Henri in 1903. He proposed that an enzyme combines with its substrate molecule to form the ES complex as a necessary step in enzyme catalysis. This idea expanded into a general theory of enzyme action, particularly by Leonor Michaelis and Maud Menten in 1913, who postulated that the enzyme (E) first combines reversibly with its substrate to form an enzyme-substrate complex (ES )in a relatively fast reversible step. The ES complex then breaks down in a slower second step to yield the free enzyme and a product (P), according to the following equation:E + S < > ES > E + P
What enzymes are exclusive to America?
The carbohydrase enzyme and amylase enzyme are the enzymes exclusive to America.
What terms refers to a protein that catalyzes chemical reactions in organisms?
Yes, that is correct.
Substrate molecules bind to enzymes where?
The bind in the active site.
