Substrates don't help enzymes to work. Without a substrate, an enzyme would have nothing to work on. A substrate is the substance acted on by an enzyme.

What is the 4 step process of an enzyme at work?

Substrate binding: The enzyme binds to its substrate. Catalysis: The enzyme facilitates the conversion of the substrate into product. Product release: The enzyme releases the product of the reaction. Enzyme recycling: The enzyme returns to its original state to catalyze further reactions.


What do activators and inhibitors help regulate?

Activators and inhibitors help regulate the activity of enzymes. Activators can enhance enzyme activity by binding to the enzyme, while inhibitors can decrease enzyme activity by binding to the enzyme and preventing it from functioning properly.


What are coemzymes?

These are either a vitamin or mineral that works with an enzyme. The enzyme doesn't work without it (them).

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.


How does temperature help control enzymes?

Proteins change shape as temperatures change. Because so much of an enzyme's activity is based on its shape, temperature changes can mess up the process and the enzyme won't work. High enough temperatures will cause the enzyme to denature and have its structure start to break up.


What enzyme speeds up a chemical reaction is known as?

All enzyme's are catalysts for certain chemical reactions. Each enzyme will only work with a certain substrate one analogy being that the enzyme is a key and the substrate is a keyhole, and each enzyme has a unique enzyme.

What can change the way an enzyme acts?

Enzyme activity is affected by other molecules, temperature, chemical environment (e.g., pH), and the concentration of substrate and enzyme. Activators are molecules that encourage enzyme activity, and inhibitors are enzymes that decrease enzyme activity. Sometimes a cofactor is necessary for the enzyme to work.


Who does the substrate work on enzyme action?

The substrate is the molecule on which the enzyme acts. It binds to the active site of the enzyme, leading to catalysis of the chemical reaction. The shape and chemical properties of the substrate are important in determining which enzyme can act on it.
