What are the parts of an enzymes?

Answer 1

Active sites. Those atoms of the molecule that effect the London bonds to the target molecule.

Structure Those atmos that provide the 'scaffolding' that ensure that the active sites are exactly where they should be.

Answer 2

Enzymes have two types on the basis of their structure and parts.

i. Simple Enzymes: are composed of globular protein only.Globular proteins are spherical or ellipsoidal due to multiple folding of peptide chains. Amino acids linked together by peptide bonds.

ii. Conjugated Enzymes: have two parts.

a: protein portion

b: non-protein part

Protein part of conjugated enzymes is called apoenzymeand non protein part is called cofactor. This entire active complex is referred to as the holoenzyme

Apoenzyme + Cofactor = Holoenzym

Some metal ions are also attached with enzymes. They are called activators.

To know that what are the functions of enzymes, how enzymes work and how enzymes are affected by change in temperature and pH,

Answer 3

Enzymes are typically composed of a protein portion, which provides the enzymatic activity, and a cofactor, which is a non-protein molecule that helps the enzyme function properly. Some enzymes may also have a prosthetic group, which is a non-protein molecule that is tightly bound to the protein portion. Additionally, enzymes have an active site where substrates bind and where the catalysis of a reaction takes place.
