What fits with an enzyme to make a reaction occur?

The substrate fits into the enzyme, much the way a key fits in a lock. Sometimes there are other "modulators" that also fit in the enzyme.


How does the cell know which enzyme to make and how to make it?

The cell follows genetic instructions encoded in the DNA to determine which enzyme to make. This process involves gene expression, where specific genes are transcribed into messenger RNA (mRNA) and then the mRNA is translated into the corresponding enzyme. Ribosomes in the cell read the mRNA sequence and assemble the amino acids into the specific enzyme structure based on the genetic code.


Suppose that the amio acids that make up an enzyme's active site are changed how might this affect the enzyme?

Changing the amino acids in an enzyme's active site can alter the enzyme's shape, potentially disrupting the enzyme-substrate interactions crucial for catalysis. This alteration may result in reduced enzyme activity or even loss of function. The specificity and affinity of the enzyme for its substrate could also be affected, impacting the overall efficiency of the catalytic reaction.


What does Phosphoglycerate kinase do?

Phosphorylase is an enzyme which joins with Glucose-1-phosphate together to make larger starch molecules. it is an example of synthesis (a joing together enzyme)
