Well this is a complicated question, one easy answer would be the salivary amylase, acetyl co enzyme A, B, C, D etc.
1) Each enzyme is specific : here are five out of 5,000 answers -
- pyruvate decarboxylase
- isocitrate lyase
- acetyl-CoA transferase
- phosphorylase kinase
- tryptophan 2-3-dioxygenase
2) note that all enzyme suffixes are -ase.
3) phosphorylase kinase has two -ases - a nested loop - is an ON switch -
phosphorylase phosphatase - also a nested loop - is an OFF switch.

Why must a molecule have a specific shape if it is to be a substrate of an enzyme?
Active sites of enzymes (where the substrates fit in) are substrate specific, and are complementary to the shape of the molecule (substrate). In this way, enzymes can only act on a specific substrate, since that is the only shape that it will accommodate in the active site.
Proteins that help regulate chemical reactions in cells?
No, they are not.
How are enzyems and chewing different?
enzymes and chewing are part of your mouth
Why does sucrase not hydrolyse lactose?
"because the reaction is to slow to make an effect, if a enzyme is added then it can hydrolyse lactose but it can take more than 6 years without the addition of an enzyme" Is bull**** the real answer is because the active site of the two substances are different and so the sucrase becasue Lactose has a different shape/structure which does not fit/bind to active site of enzyme/sucrase.
How the lock and key model and the induced fit model differ?
According to lock and key model both the enzymes and the substrate possess specific geometrical shapes that fit exactly into one another. WHILE According to the induced fit model enzymes are more flexible structures and their active site is reshaped as substrate interacts with the enzymes.
Is it true or false that Enzymes interact with specific substrates?
Enzymes does interact with specific substrates. This is used in science.
How do mitochondria break down nutrients?
Enzymes are used for it. There are specific enzymes
What two ways does ribulose 5 phosphate inefficient compared to other enzymes?
it is slow and not a very specific enzyme
Enzymes have specific that determine their function?
Enzymes ARE specific for their substrate. For example: lipase breaks down lipids, not sugars.
What does enzymes mean in science terms?
The active site is the functional part of an enzyme. An enzyme speeds up a chemical reaction. Enzymes are proteins. Enzymes help decrease the activation energy Specific enzymes carry out specific biological functions. Enzymes have an active site that fits a specific substrate.
What is an enzyme marker?
some enzymes present in certain organelles only , such specific enzymes are called marker enzymes
Do restriction enzymes cut protein molecules at specific sites?
No. restriction enzymes do not cut proteins. restriction enzymes cut DNA molecules at specific sites called restriction sites.
What statements is true about enzymes?
One thing that is true about enzymes is that enzymes speed up metabolic processes and are highly specific.
Use enzymes in a sentence?
"The enzymes were used to cause a specific biochemical reaction on the agent."
What are enzymes cutting DNA at specific sites to form restriction fragments called?
restriction enzymes or endonuclease enzymes
A certain enzyme with hydrolyze egg white but not starch which statement best explains this observation?
enzymes are specific in their actions
Enzymes have specific what that determine their function?
Shapes
