Enzymes are almost all proteins. They are often globular proteins. We can describe them in terms of their primary, secondary, tertiary and quaternary structure. They are long chains of amino acid units held together by peptide bonds, looped and folded into secondary and tertiary structures by disulfide bonds, hydrophobic interactions, and salt bridges.
Factors that could impact the function of an enzyme include temperature, pH levels, substrate concentration, enzyme concentration, presence of inhibitors or activators, and cofactors or coenzymes. These factors can alter the enzyme's structure, affecting its ability to bind to substrates and catalyze reactions efficiently.
Several factors can influence enzyme function, including temperature, pH level, substrate concentration, and the presence of inhibitors or activators. Changes in these factors can affect the enzyme's ability to bind to its substrate and catalyze reactions effectively.
If an enzyme is exposed to extreme pH, temperature, or other harsh conditions, it can become denatured. This means the enzyme's three-dimensional structure is altered, disrupting its active site and impairing its ability to catalyze reactions. Denaturation is often irreversible, resulting in a loss of enzymatic activity. Factors such as high temperatures or extreme pH levels can lead to this structural change, rendering the enzyme ineffective.
You have probably only one important enzyme, that is present in saliva. That is called as 'Ptyalin'. This enzyme brakes down the carbohydrates to sugar. This enzyme continue to act in stomach also for some time, till acid in the stomach makes the enzyme ineffective.
An enzyme's function is primarily determined by its unique three-dimensional structure, which is shaped by its amino acid sequence. This structure allows the enzyme to bind specifically to its substrate, facilitating a biochemical reaction. Typically, one enzyme catalyzes one specific reaction or a set of closely related reactions, although some enzymes may exhibit versatility under certain conditions.
Some environmental enzyme factors include temperature, pH, substrate concentration, and presence of inhibitors or activators. These factors can affect enzyme activity by altering the enzyme's structure or its ability to bind to the substrate. Temperature and pH are particularly critical as they can denature enzymes if not within the optimal range.

One is cofactor A.
There are a number of factors that can influence how efficiently a certain enzyme can catalyse a reaction: the amount of substrate present, whether there are chemicals present that inhibit enzymes by either binding to their active site or cofactor site, the amount of enzymes present...

prevent the substrate from binding the enzyme's active site
A low temperature can slow down enzyme activity and high temperatures can denature an enzyme making it unusable. pH levels also affect enzyme activity. Every cell has an ideal temperature and pH
Enzyme specificity is mainly determined by the active site structure and the interactions between the enzyme and its substrate. The shape, charge, and chemical properties of the active site are crucial in determining which substrates can bind to the enzyme and undergo a catalyzed reaction. Additionally, enzymes undergo conformational changes upon substrate binding to further enhance specificity.
