Based on the wording of your question, I think the answer you're looking for is that it's denatured. If not, can you be more specific?

How are enzymes reconstituted?

Assuming the enzyme has been denatured in an environment of variant pH and temperature that has disrupted the R group and backbone bondings a restoration to optimum, for the enzyme, conditions can allow the bonds to reconstitute themselves and the enzyme will return to shape and function. I am not sure if the class of folding assistance proteins, chaperons, are involved in reconstituting denatured proteins.


If an enzyme has been inhibited noncompetitively?

If an enzyme has been inhibited noncompetitively, the inhibitor binds to the enzyme at a site other than the active site, altering the enzyme's shape and reducing its activity. This type of inhibition is not overcome by increasing the substrate concentration.


What happens to an enzyme-substrate reaction when the enzyme has been subjected to heat or high-low pH?

When an enzyme is subjected to heat or extreme pH levels, it can denature, losing its specific shape and functionality. This can affect the enzyme's ability to bind to the substrate and catalyze the reaction efficiently. In extreme cases, the enzyme may become permanently inactivated.


What activity completes an enzyme-controlled reaction?

The activity that completes an enzyme-controlled reaction is the release of the product(s) after the substrate has been converted into the product(s) by the enzyme. Once the enzyme binds to the substrate, it facilitates the chemical reaction, and upon completion, the products are released, allowing the enzyme to return to its original form and participate in additional reactions. This cycle enables enzymes to catalyze multiple reactions efficiently.


Why their structure shape is so important (hintactive site)?

The shape of the active site is very important because it determines the efficiency of the specific enzyme. If an active site shifts, the substrate can no longer bind to an enzyme's active site, therefore causing inefficiency. We say that the enzyme is undergoing denaturation.

Can the reaction of an enzyme still take place if it's shape is changed by a heavy metal or the change in it's pH level?

If an enzyme is put under certain conditions, including proximity to heavy metals, pH extremes, and temperature extremes, the enzyme will break apart. This means that the enzyme has been denatured, and will no longer work. It depends on how much the enzyme's shape has changed. This is dependent on what enzyme is in question and what conditions it was put under.

Why is an enzyme not a type of protein?

Actually it is. It is a polypeptide structure that has been specialized to be a catalyst.


When the active site of an enzyme is continuously filled and the maximum enzyme rate has been reached what happens if more substrates are added to the reaction?

If the active site of an enzyme is continuously filled and the maximum enzyme rate has been reached, adding more substrates will not increase the rate of the reaction. This is because all available enzyme active sites are already saturated with substrates, so increasing substrate concentration will not result in more enzyme-substrate complexes being formed.


What is robustness testing in software engineering?

Robustness has been defined by the Food and Drug Administration as "the degree to which a software system or component can function correctly in the presence of invalid inputs or stressful environmental conditions."


What was the name of the enzyme that was put into McDonald's french fries to make the consumer addicted to them?

There was no such enzyme - it is an urban legend. McDonalds has been the victim of a great many urban legends over the years.

What types of organisms developed first due to the early environment conditions on Earth?

Simple prokaryotic organisms, such as bacteria and archaea, are believed to have been the first to develop on Earth due to the harsh early environmental conditions, like the lack of oxygen and extreme temperatures. These organisms were able to thrive in such conditions and are thought to have played a crucial role in shaping the Earth's early environment.
