Would lowering the pH of the enzyme solution affect the enzyme?

Yes, lowering the pH of the enzyme solution can affect the enzyme's activity. Enzymes have an optimal pH at which they function best, so altering the pH can disrupt the enzyme's structure and function, potentially leading to decreased activity or denaturation.


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 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 converts free radicals to hydrogen peroxide in a cell?

Specifically peroxidase, the enzyme that resides in the peroxisomes.


What is the mechanism of action of salicylamide in inhibiting the enzyme N-acetylglucosaminidase (NAI)?

Salicylamide inhibits the enzyme N-acetylglucosaminidase (NAI) by binding to the active site of the enzyme and blocking its function, thereby preventing the enzyme from carrying out its normal biochemical reactions.
