There are countless enzymes, natural and man-made, that will modify/change/destroy even more molecules. Any particular enzyme tends to "attack" one particular type of chemical bond - for instance, amylase breaks down carbohydrates (polysccharides) into sugar (saccharide) molecules because it attacks glycosidic bonds.

How do allosteric regulation and competitive inhibition differ in their mechanisms of enzyme regulation?

Allosteric regulation involves a molecule binding to a site on the enzyme that is not the active site, causing a change in the enzyme's shape and activity. Competitive inhibition involves a molecule binding to the active site of the enzyme, blocking substrate binding and enzyme activity.


What happens to the enzyme after the substrate is changed?

enzyme works as a catalyst before and after the reaction it is preserved


What is the difference between allosteric inhibition and competitive inhibition in enzyme regulation?

Allosteric inhibition occurs when a molecule binds to a site on an enzyme that is not the active site, causing a change in the enzyme's shape and reducing its activity. Competitive inhibition, on the other hand, happens when a molecule competes with the substrate for the active site of the enzyme, blocking the substrate from binding and inhibiting the enzyme's function.


Chemical reactions occur on the active blank of an enzyme. on a crossword. rest of answers would be nice. Biology crossword?

The chemical reactions occur on the active site of an enzyme. The rest of the answers could include "substrate" for the molecule acted upon by the enzyme, "cofactor" for an additional substance required for enzyme activity, and "inhibitor" for a molecule that reduces enzyme activity.


An enzyme then stores this excited particle in what molecule?

The answer to this question is NADPH. An enzyme then stores this excited particle in an NADPH molecule. NADPH is the abbreviated name for Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide Phosphate.

What occurs to a molecule of the enzyme trypsin AFTER human pancreas binds to a molecule of protein?

Trypsin is an enzyme that is produced in the pancreas. After the human pancreas binds to a molecule of protein, auto catalysis occurs to a molecule of trypsin.


Who does the substrate work on enzyme action?

The substrate is the molecule on which the enzyme acts. It binds to the active site of the enzyme, leading to catalysis of the chemical reaction. The shape and chemical properties of the substrate are important in determining which enzyme can act on it.

The maltose molecule fits into the blank site of the maltose enzyme molecule?

The active site of the enzyme has a shape that matches the specific shape of the maltose molecule, allowing them to bind together. This binding is important for the catalytic function of the enzyme, which helps break down the maltose molecule into smaller components.
