Substance that enzyme act upon?
They are known as reactants or substrates.
Which type of control agent exerts noncompetitive inhibition?
Protein kinase and Allosteric effector
What is substrate concentration?
it is a type of enzyme.
Why must the enzyme exist in a specific type of environment in order to function properly?
Enzymes that are sensitive to changes in their physical or chemical environment, such as changes in pH or temperature will change their shape if placed in suboptimal environments. Most enzymes are proteins, and it's a protein's shape that determines their function. Change the shape, and the enzyme is denatured, and can no longer function for its purpose adequately.
What type of biochemical molecule is an enzyme?
Protein
What is the type of inhibition of invertase by urea?
Urea is a non-competitive inhibitor which means that the Vmax will decrease and the Km will remain unchanged during the process.
What inhibitor binds into the active site of an enzyme not allowing the subrtate to bind?
This would be a competitive inhibitor. It can be a structural analog of the substrate. This type of inhibition can be out competed by adding more substrate. A competitive inhibitor increases the Km of the enzyme.
An enzyme citrate synthase in the Krebs cycle is inhibited by ATP What type of inhibition would this be?
Citrate synthase is inhibited by ATP. Obviously, the Krebs cycle produces ATP. This is the first step and one of the major regulatory steps in the pathway. If the cell has plenty of ATP, then it wouldn't need to keep making it, thus the pathway needs to be shut off. ATP inhibits the enzyme to shut off the pathway. This is an example of feedback inhibition (you can also call it negative inhibition or even product inhibition). Feedback inhibition is when the products of a certain biochemical pathway inhibit earlier enzymes, shutting down the pathway.
What are some differences and or similarities in the type of inhibition caused by heat acid or base and heavy metal ions on enzyme activity?
all inhibitors prevent the active site from binding to a substrate and causes enzymes to lose catalytic activity
Which type of enzyme removes hair from skin?
The Enzyme Skin Peel is the type of enzyme that removes hair from the skin.
What type of protein regulates nearly all chemical reaction in a cell?
An enzyme is a protein that speeds up the rate of chemical reactions.
What type of enzyme is plasmin?
Blood enzyme
What enzyme breaks down fruit?
This enzyme is a type of amylase. This is the same type of enzyme released by the liver to help digest fruits.
What type of enzyme is pectin?
Pectin is not an enzyme but a soluble fiber.
IS FAT A HORMONE OR ENZYME?
No it is not a hormone or an enzyme. It is a type of molecules
What kind of molecule is an enzyme-?
The type of molecule that is an enzyme is a protein molecule.
Substance that enzyme act upon?
They are known as reactants or substrates.
