Assuming there isn't anything in the environment that would alter it's shape, such as a certain pH or temperature range that isn't optimal for that particular enzyme, or the presence of molecules that alter its shape, then nothing will happen. It'll go on to catalise another reaction until it's eventually destroyed or recycled.

What happens to an enzyme when it performs its function what does this mean about enzyme molecules?
Nothing. The enzyme is not changed by the process of lowering the activation energy of the reaction with the substrates. In their active site some enzymes just give two substrates a protected area for a reaction, some stress bonds thus causing a reaction and some preform catabolically within their active site using their R groups. Regardless of the enzymes activity it is not changed and goes on to perform many processes in the cell.
What does 'enzyme inactivation' mean?
Enzyme inactivation refers to a certain period when the enzyme is unable to catalyse a particular reaction. For example some enzymes are inactivated at extreme temperatures of cold or heat. At this particular time the enzyme does not perform its function of catalysis but after favourable conditions return the enzyme wil resume its catalylitic function.
What happens when you mix cold liver and peroxide?
The enzyme in the liver (catalase) decomposes the hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into water and oxygen molecules. However this reaction will be slower then the liver being at 37 degrees celsius as this is the optimal condition for the enzyme catalase. The reaction will occur at a slower rate when an enzyme is below its optimal condition so generally when an enzyme is in cold conditions it will function slower.
What happens to the enzyme rennin when the temperature is raised to the boiling point?
Disrupted.
What happens to a reaction as reactants are used up?
The rate of the reaction slows down

What is the purpose of the extracellular enzyme experiment?
Extracellular enzyme is an enzyme that performs its role or function outside a cell. The purpose of experimenting extracellular enzyme is to know how can it affect our body when the bacteria secretes.
What happens to an enzyme when it is heated?
When an enzyme is heated it is denatured, which means that it can no longer function.
What happens when an enzyme is renatured?
Do you mean denatured? Form is function in an enzyme and if heat or acidity denatures an enzyme the function of the enzyme is compromised. Certain R group bonds being br5oken will denature the enzyme and give it a different conformation.
What happens to an enzyme and structure as it exceeds the typical human body temperature?
The enzyme can denature and will not function because it is no longer in the proper shape.
What happens if enzymes are not at optimum ph?
Enzyme become denatured.
What switch performs a control function?
Every switch performs a control function. On / Off is a control function.
What happens when enzyme reaches optimal temperature?
The optimal function of the enzyme is impeded and if the temperature rises too high the enzyme, mostly protein, will degrade and become useless.
What function does a brower performs?
A browser performs the function of connecting or linking you to the global web.

What is the function of an enzyme?
The function of an enzyme is to increase the rate of a reaction.
What is the active site for an enzyme?
The place where the substrate and the enzyme meet to allow the enzyme to function.
