Enzymes are specific:
-they only speed up one type of reaction.
-they will work over and over and over again until they've been denatured.
-you can denature an enzyme with: heat, acid and base.
-the structure of an enzyme determines its job.

What causes enzyme specificity?
The enzyme's surface folds are complementary to the substrate's surface folds.
What statements is true about enzymes?
One thing that is true about enzymes is that enzymes speed up metabolic processes and are highly specific.
What are four things that can affect the way enzymes work?
pH, temperature, concentration of enzyme, substrate concentration, etc
Important intestinal enzymes are the?
Brush Border enzymes
What is lock and key model?
in order to explain the mechanism of enzymes action a German chemist Emil fischer,in 184,proposed the lock and key model.According to this model both the enzymes and the substrate possess specific complementary geometric shapes that fit exactly into one another.This model explain enzyme specificity.
What property of enzymes does protease not working on lipids show?
Enzyme specificity .
Because enzymes have high specificity fewer than fifteen are required by any organism true or false?
Because enzymes have high specificity fewer than fifteen are required by any organism true or false?
What 4 things affect the ways enzymes work?
specificity, temp, ph, inhibitors
What causes enzyme specificity?
The enzyme's surface folds are complementary to the substrate's surface folds.
What is meant by the enzyme specificity?
Enzymes work on one substrate specifically. This is why there is millions of different types of enzymes to interact with all the molecules they need to metabolically and chemically react with.
What statements is true about enzymes?
One thing that is true about enzymes is that enzymes speed up metabolic processes and are highly specific.
Why does enzyme specificity promote enzyme activity?
Because enzymes are specific and speed only one type of reaction.
Can an enzyme bind to nearly any molecule?
No; enzymes have substrate specificity, which means the substrate has to be a specific shape for the enzyme to bind to it.
