Enzymes are classified as hormones functional proteins or structural proteins?
Enzymes can be classified by the kind of chemical reaction they catalyze. One such scheme of enzyme classification is defined by IUBMB.The IUBMB assigns a 4-digit code to each enzyme. Each enzyme is prefixed by EC, followed by the digits.For example: oxidoreductases EC 1.1.1.11. The first digit denotes "Class" of the enzyme2. The second digit indicates, "Sub-class" of the enzyme3. The third digit gives "Sub sub-class" of the enzyme4. The fourth digit in the code is "Serial number" of the enzyme
Why does enzymes only work on one substance?
Yes every enzyme has a specific site to react on , so if a body is lacking certain kind of enzyme the corresponding reaction will not occur
What is the product of an enzyme?
You have to see what kind of enzyme it is.Since enzyme is SPECIFIC of doing a certain reaction, what it matters is what the enzyme is.For an example,Starch ---amylase--> MaltoseHydrogen Peroxide ---Catalyse---> Water (H2O) + Oxygen (O2)Please refer to http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_the_product_of_an_enzyme
What type of a molecule are enzymes?
Enzymes are proteins, which are made from smaller sub-units called amino acids. The amino acid sequence for various proteins is coded for by the DNA, and the amino acids are put together, according to this sequence, by the ribosomes. Enzymes have an active site, which is a particular portion of the protein that is responsible for carrying out the reaction. There are lots of enzymes in cells. Some enzymes are only expressed in certain cells where they are needed - this is partly what makes cells differentiated from other cell types. For example, liver cells will need different enzymes to skin or brain cells in order to carry out their specialised functions.
What is an enzyme and why are enzymes important to cells?
Enzymes speed up chemical reactions in a cell. without enzymes, many chemical reactions that are neccassarry for life would either take to long or not occur at all.
An enzyme is a special kind of catalyst that works to do what?
speed up chemical reaction because of the lowered activation energy
What kind of molecule is an enzyme-?
The type of molecule that is an enzyme is a protein molecule.
What kind of chemical is carbohydrase is and what does it do?
Carbohydrase is am enzyme (biochemical catalyst) which help the decomposition of carbohydrates in simple sugars.
What is the Difference between enzyme and regulatory enzyme?
An enzyme is one kind of protein that can catalyze a specific reaction whereas a regulatory enzyme is the enzyme which can regulate a series of reaction which undergo in the living organism. So we can say every enzyme is not a regulatory one but the regulatory enzymes are obviously a special kind of enzyme.
What kind of enzyme can increase the rate of a chemical reaction?
Any, that is their function.
What is the difference between fermentation and chemical reaction?
Fermentation is a specific kind of chemical reaction. It is an organo-, or even biochemical reaction and in nature normally performed by microorganisms or enzymes, to be more specific.
What is the difference between abzyme and enzyme?
enzyme is a kind of protein that catalyzes specific reactions & abzymes are antibodies that target the transition state of an expected reaction.
What is enzyme-substrate specificity?
It means that an enzyme will only work on one specific substrate at a time, because no meaningful biochemical activity can occur without their absolute specificity.We are talking about 30,000 bio-enzymatically controlled Biochemical reactions.In the Chem Lab a product yield of 60 percent is a huge achievement.In the Body anything less than a 100 percent yieldwould swiftly result in the Cell being overwhelmed by the useless by-products of these 30,000 biochemical Reactions.
Carbon dioxide passing through the lungs is what kind of reaction?
a biochemical reaction due to the astrostoneses muscles in the chest wall that provide the cardiotonic restraints to attract themselves to the lungs.
What kind of chemical reaction occurs most frequently at the active site?
The most frequently occurring chemical reaction at the active site of an enzyme is the formation and breaking of covalent bonds. This involves the transfer or rearrangement of electrons between the enzyme and the substrate, resulting in the conversion of the substrate to a product.
