Define total enzyme concentration?
The optimum pH and optimum temperatures of an enzyme are simply levels that the enzyme work most effectively at. These levels contribute to factors such as the enzyme's protein structure. Different levels of pH and temperature can alter the integrity of the protein, this process is called denaturation. When an enzyme undergoes denaturation, its level of activity is inhibited by failure of the substrate to effectively attach itself to the active site.
How do you you calculate the rate of enzyme activity?
The rate of enzyme activity can be calculated by measuring the amount of substrate converted to product over a specific time period. This is often expressed as the change in concentration of product per unit time (e.g., micromoles of product per minute). To quantify enzyme activity, you can use the equation: Rate = Δ[P]/Δt, where Δ[P] is the change in product concentration and Δt is the change in time. Enzyme activity can also be expressed in units such as enzyme units (U), which define the amount of enzyme that converts 1 micromole of substrate to product per minute under specific conditions.
A protein catalyst is known as an?
Enzyme.
What kind of molecule is an enzyme-?
The type of molecule that is an enzyme is a protein molecule.
What switchs on enzyme activity while what can switch off or reduce enzyme activity?
Enzyme activators like cofactors or substrates can switch on enzyme activity by binding to the enzyme and promoting its function. Conversely, inhibitors can switch off or reduce enzyme activity by binding to the enzyme and preventing its normal function.
Write the name of an enzyme and define its clinical importance?
"protease"; an enzyme that breaks down proteins
Can you define kcat and explain its significance in enzyme kinetics?
Kcat, also known as the turnover number, is a measure of how many substrate molecules an enzyme can convert into product per unit time when it is fully saturated with substrate. It is a crucial parameter in enzyme kinetics as it provides important information about the efficiency of an enzyme in catalyzing a reaction. A higher kcat value indicates a faster rate of catalysis, while a lower kcat value suggests a slower rate.

The binding together of an enzyme and a substrate forms a what?
enzyme-substrate complex
What to enzymes do in an enzyme-substrate?
in an enzyme-substrate complex, the enzyme acts on the substrate .
Does enzyme has proteins?
An enzyme is a protein
What enzyme is responsible for fat digestion?
the lipase enzyme :)
What is an angiotensin converting enzyme?
An angiotensin converting enzyme is an enzyme which catalyzes the creation of angiotensin.
What is the active site for an enzyme?
The place where the substrate and the enzyme meet to allow the enzyme to function.
How effective is enzyme replacement therapy in treating enzyme deficiencies?
Enzyme replacement therapy is generally effective in treating enzyme deficiencies by providing the missing enzyme to the body. It can help improve symptoms and quality of life for patients with enzyme deficiencies.
What is it called when and enzyme and substrate come together?
When an enzyme and substrate come together, it is called the enzyme-substrate complex. This complex is a temporary intermediate state in which the enzyme binds to the substrate to catalyze a chemical reaction.
