What else can I help you with?
What is denaturing And what causes enzyme denaturing?
Enzymes are proteins that help speed up the the rate of chemical reactions in the human body. Enzymes possess a specific shape and this shape fits into the substrate. When an enzyme becomes denatured, it loses its shape and thus it cannot function effectively. Enzymes may become denatured due to high temperatures or changes in the pH.
What affect would temperature and pH have on the Catalans enzyme?
Just like always, deviating from the desired normal functioning for the enzyme, whether it be in temperature or pH, would result in the enzyme denaturing and therefore being unable to for enzyme substrate complexes, therefore reducing the overall reaction rate.
Does freezing a enzyme affect it?
Yes, freezing an enzyme can affect its activity by denaturing it and changing its structure. Ice crystals can form and disrupt the enzyme's fragile structure, diminishing its function once thawed. It's best to store enzymes at their recommended temperature to maintain their stability and activity.
How does adding an acid to an enzyme reaction effect the enzyme?
it alters the pH of the enzyme denaturing it leaving it unable to carry out it's role effectively or at all
What kind of molecule is an enzyme-?
The type of molecule that is an enzyme is a protein molecule.
What can affect enzyme activity?
pH Temperature Substrate Concentration non-ideal conditions will ultimately lead to the denaturing of the enzyme

Why are balancing things like temperature and acidity so important to living things?
Enzymes are protiens. If you get the balance of pH or temperature outof wack, you can change the shape of the enzyme. Changing the shape of the said enzyme damages the protein, so it cannot do its job. This is called denaturing.
What is the protein molecule that can affect a chemical reaction in the body without being affected?
That is an enzyme
How does adding an acid to an enzyme reaction effect the enzyme?
it alters the pH of the enzyme denaturing it leaving it unable to carry out it's role effectively or at all
How does the denaturizing of a protein make it unable to do its job?
Denaturing a protein will change the three dimensional shape of the protein. Proteins have very specific shape that allow them to interact with their surrounding. Think about melting (denaturing) a key. It will no longer work in the lock (surroundings)
What inflammatory response slows the growth of pathogen by denaturing its protein?
Lymphocytes
The distortion of enzyme molecules which occurs at high temperatures is known as?
Denatured
A protein molecule that can affect a chemical reaction in the body without being affected by the reaction is?
ENZYME
What two factors can cause denaturing of an enzyme?
Temperature and enzymes. A good temperature example is the proteins in egg whites denaturing when exposed to heat. Specific enzymes denature specific proteins: lactase (an enzyme) denatures lactose (protein present in dairy products). Protein denaturation can be caused by a number of different factors. These include heat exposure, introduction to acidic surroundings, and exposure to high energy electromagnetic radiation.
