pH, temperature, other proteins, and atoms. affect the shapes of enzymes. pH affects the configuration of proteins by the way the hydrogen ions interact with exposed charged atoms. Extreme ph can denature or alter the native shape. Temperature can also affect the shapes of proteins. High temps can also denature proteins and often break off fragments due to the energy. Extremely low temps can cause freezing into lattice/crystal shapes as well. Other proteins can alter other proteins due to the interactions of surface atoms and charges. Atoms can also change protein structure due to the electrical charges which redistribute over the molecule. Metal atoms can act as catalysts which affects the energy needed to cause a reaction to take place.

∙ 12y agoEnzymes can change shape by a mistake in - first DNA replication, and second Rna transcription and / or translation.
Taking a normal enzyme and permanently altering its shape and function is called denaturation.

∙ 11y agoEnzymes are proteins and like all proteins the sequence of amino acids, they have various R group differences, allows differences in folding when the polypeptide chain goes through tertiary folding stage.

How does an inhibitor affect the rate of chemical reaction?
Enzymes fasten chemical reactions, inhibitors blocks the enzymes and they will not accelerate the reaction.
What is the shape of the H2Te molecule?

An enzyme that attaches a phosphate group to another molecule is called a?
kinase
What does the VSEPR theory tell about a molecule?
A. The geometry it will have
What is Nitrogens molecular shape?
N2 ,molecular nitrogen, is a linear molecule with a dumbbell shape.
What can effect the shape of an enzyme molecule?
Temperature
How does the shape of molecule affect the polarity of the molecule?
C.A molecule that has a symmetrical shape will be a nonpolar molecule.
How does the shape of the molecule affect the polarity of the molecule?
C.A molecule that has a symmetrical shape will be a nonpolar molecule.
Binding of a regulatory molecule changes the shape of the enzyme?
Yes, it does.
What do you call the shape on an enzyme molecule?

How does heating a enzyme affect its function?
For an enzyme to work it must bind to a specific substrate molecule, using a part of the enzyme molecule called the active site. To do this, the enzyme's active site and the substrate must have matching (complementary) shapes. The shape of an enzyme molecule depends on the exact way in which the molecule folds up. When enzymes are heated the weak bonds which hold the molecules in their precise shape are broken, and the enzyme molecule "unwinds" into a random shape. It can no longer bind with its substrate so it no longer has any activity. This "unwinding" of a protein molecule is called denaturation.
What causes changes in enzyme shape?
The shape of the enzyme must match the shape of the substrate. ... Higher temperature generally causes more collisions among the molecules and therefore ... bonding within the protein molecule change and the molecule changes shape.Can cause the enzyme to change shape? If you mean What causes it to change shape, mainly it's heat.
How does a shape of a molecule affect its function?
The correct answer is: The shape of a molecule determines its properties and interactions.
How does the shape of a molecule affect the function?
The correct answer is: The shape of a molecule determines its properties and interactions.
What is an enzyme considered because of its ability to recognize the shape of a particular molecule?
"Specific"
How does the shape of a molecule affect it's function?
The correct answer is: The shape of a molecule determines its properties and interactions.
Can an enzyme bind to nearly any molecule?
No; enzymes have substrate specificity, which means the substrate has to be a specific shape for the enzyme to bind to it.
