Individual enzymes are named by adding the suffix "-ase" to the name of the substrate with which the enzyme reacts. An example of this method is the enzyme amylase, which controls the breakdown of amylose (starch). There are categories of enzymes that control certain reactions. Hydrolases control hydrolytic reactions; proteinases control protein breakdown; synthetases control synthesis reactions. There are exceptions: trypsin and pepsin, both digestive enzymes that breakdown protein, retain the names used before the modern form of nomenclature was adopted.

enzyme catalysis is usually homogeneous because the substrate and enzyme are present in aqueous solution
The molecules made in an enzyme-controlled reaction are usually referred to as products. These products are the result of the substrate molecules being transformed by the enzyme during the reaction.
Enzymes are named by the reaction it catalyzes.
A substrate binds to the enzyme and plays a role in catalysis by undergoing a chemical reaction with the enzyme. This interaction allows the enzyme to convert the substrate into a product, usually by lowering the activation energy required for the reaction to occur. Additionally, cofactors or coenzymes may also bind to the enzyme to assist in catalysis by providing or accepting functional groups during the reaction.
A kinase enzyme adds phosphate groups to proteins, a process called phosphorylation. This modification can change the activity, function, or location of the target protein, which is crucial for many cellular processes such as cell signaling, growth, and differentiation.
Usually an enzyme is named after it's function.
Usually an enzyme is named after it's function.
Enzymes speed up chemical reactions that take place in cells. They are usually named from the reaction that they catalyze.
An enzyme that usually ends in the suffix "-ase" is called an enzyme.

Pepsi - named from the digestive enzyme pepsin.
Part of an enzyme's name is usually derived from the reaction it catalyzes.
Sucrase is the enzyme (called a disaccharidase) that digests sucrose, the major disaccharide in table sugar.
Enzyme denaturation refers to the alteration of an enzyme's structure, leading to loss of its catalytic activity. This can be induced by factors such as temperature, pH, or chemicals, which disrupt the enzyme's active site and 3D shape. Denaturation usually renders the enzyme nonfunctional.
False. Enzyme names typically end in the suffix "–ase".
