What is the name of the enzyme that doesn't change during a reaction?

Enzymes are organic molecules that are highly specific catylists for biological chemical reactions. Enzymes are not permanently changed by the reactions that they catalyze, although the may transiently change shape a little during the reaction. At the end of the reaction, the enzyme is the same shape that it was at the beginning.

Do enzymes change shape after a reaction occurs?
While the structure of an enzyme can, and often does, change over the course of a reaction, after a reaction has completed, enzymes are returned to their starting state. It is worth noting that certain cofactors (such as ATP or GTP) may also need to be replaced in order for the reaction to procede again.
Explain the effects of pH on enzyme reaction rates?
A change in pH can denature an enzyme, meaning the reaction would stop.
What happens to an enzyme after it catalyzes a chemical reaction?
Enzymes are not used up in a chemical reaction. Usually, the enzyme will "reset" and be ready to use in another reaction. This is due to the fact that enzymes are proteins, and their shape is what they use in a chemical reaction. Initially, the enzyme has a particular shape. Something happens to the enzyme (usually a shape change, called a conformation change, brought on by the presence of two or more chemical reactants), and the enzyme catalyzes the reaction. After the reaction is catalyzed, the product is released, and the enzyme can "relax." This means it goes back to its normal shape, ready to do it all over again.
Which component is released from the active site of an enzyme during a chemical reaction?
Product
What is the function of enymes?
Enzymes are biological catalysts. They speed up biochemical reaction. During the course of a reaction, the enzyme molecules do not get consumed. At the end of a reaction, the enzyme molecules are ready for another reaction. Enzymes are able to catalyze reactions by decreasing the free energy change (delta G) associated with a biochemical reaction. When the reactants have to go through a smaller free energy change, the products are formed faster.
How does an enzyme change how a reaction occurs?
An enzyme speeds up your reaction in your body.
Compare a structure of an enzyme before and after a reation?
An enzymes structure is not affected by a reaction. The enzyme has the same structure at the end of the reaction as it did before it took place. Note: Enzyme structures may change during the reaction itself but will return to their original shape etc when the reaction is complete.

What is a specific enzyme?
A specific enzyme is an enzyme that only changes the speed of ONE reaction. (It only acts on one particular substance that happens to be compatible with that enzyme) i.e. if enzyme A is specific to reaction A, it will change the speed of reaction A. However it will have no effect on any other reaction like reaction B or C.
What changes did you observe in the enzyme reaction and control reaction conical tubes during the time that the reaction was occurring?
You were supposed to observe a change in coloration from the base with added products being made.
What is an active site and where is it located?
A region on an enzyme that binds to a protein or other substance during a reaction
What is the chemical that helps a chemical reaction without being consumed during a reaction?
ENzyme
What is the substance on which an enzyme acts during a chemical reaction?
a catalyst

What things can change the rate of an enzyme catalyzed reaction?
ur face
What changes the rate of a reaction?
* Presence of enzyme * Change in pH * Change in temperature * Change in salt concentration.
