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.
Enzyme
the substance that an enzyme acts upon is subtrate
Those are called substates.
Is a molecule upon which an enzyme acts. e.g. hydrogen peroxide is the substrate for the enzyme catalase
The substrate is the molecule that the enzyme acts upon, fitting into the enzyme's active site like a key fitting into a lock. This binding triggers a conformational change in the enzyme that allows it to catalyze the reaction more efficiently. The substrate provides the specific chemical groups and orientation needed for the enzyme to perform its function.
in an enzyme-substrate complex, the enzyme acts on the substrate .
the enzyme ptylin or some amylase and it converts starch to maltose
Yes, that is exactly what an enzyme is.
Enzyme
A specific enzyme is an enzyme that only changes the speed of ONE reaction. (It only acts on one particular substance that happens to be compatible with that enzyme) i.e. if enzyme A is specific to reaction A, it will change the speed of reaction A. However it will have no effect on any other reaction like reaction B or C.
the substance that an enzyme acts upon is subtrate
the answer is that yes it dose change the way alcohol acts on people ppl are stupied if u do take pills with alcohol.
All Enzyme are proteins enzymes act as catalyst
substrate
Those are called substates.
The enzyme that acts upon the substrate pepsin is also called pepsin. Pepsin is a digestive enzyme produced in the stomach that helps break down proteins into smaller peptides.
