Enzymes are not used up in a chemical reaction. Usually, the enzyme will "reset" and be ready to use in another reaction. This is due to the fact that enzymes are proteins, and their shape is what they use in a chemical reaction. Initially, the enzyme has a particular shape. Something happens to the enzyme (usually a shape change, called a conformation change, brought on by the presence of two or more chemical reactants), and the enzyme catalyzes the reaction. After the reaction is catalyzed, the product is released, and the enzyme can "relax." This means it goes back to its normal shape, ready to do it all over again.
What else can I help you with?
What part of an enzymes name usually derived?
Part of an enzyme's name is usually derived from the reaction it catalyzes.
What happens when an enzyme catalyzes a reaction?
When an enzyme catalyzes a reaction, it lowers the activation energy required for the reaction to occur, allowing it to proceed more quickly. Enzymes bind to substrates, facilitating their interaction and forming enzyme-substrate complexes. This leads to the conversion of substrates into products, which are then released from the enzyme.
Does every enzyme possess an active site for catalyzing chemical reactions?
Yes, every enzyme possesses an active site where it catalyzes chemical reactions.
What happens to an enzyme after a biochemical reaction?
After a biochemical reaction, the enzyme remains unchanged and is free to catalyze more reactions. Enzymes are not consumed in the reaction and can be used repeatedly, making them efficient catalysts.
What is the enzyme that catalyzes transcription?
The enzyme that catalyzes transcription is called RNA polymerase.
Is an enzyme an example of a eukaryotic cell?
No. An enzyme is a molecule, specifically a protein, that catalyzes a chemical reaction.
What catalyzes a reaction?
In biology it is an enzyme.
What part of an enzymes name usually derived?
Part of an enzyme's name is usually derived from the reaction it catalyzes.
Why do you need more then 1 type of enzyme?
Enzymes are highly specific. Each enzyme catalyzes a particular chemical reaction or at most a family of closely related chemical reactions.
How do you say enzyme?
Enzymes are named by the reaction it catalyzes.
What ia an enzyme?
an enzyme is protien that catalyzes chemical reactions for organisms
What happens when an enzyme catalyzes a reaction?
When an enzyme catalyzes a reaction, it lowers the activation energy required for the reaction to occur, allowing it to proceed more quickly. Enzymes bind to substrates, facilitating their interaction and forming enzyme-substrate complexes. This leads to the conversion of substrates into products, which are then released from the enzyme.
What catalyzes chemical reaction?
They are the enzymes mainly. They are tertiary proteins
To what main class of enzymes does the enzyme that catalyzes the following reaction belong?
The main class of enzymes that the enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of lactose to galactose and glucose belongs to hydrolase. One example of a reaction of hydrolase is ser to ala which equals ser plus ala.
The enzyme enolase catalyzes the ninth reaction of glycolysis. What is the product of this reaction?
Phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP)
What will most likely happen if the amount of enzyme that catalyzes this reaction is increased?
The reaction will speed up.
What terms refers to a protein that catalyzes chemical reactions in organisms?
Yes, that is correct.
