Different enzymes are composed of different sequences of?

amino acids, which contribute to their unique structures and functions. The specific sequence of amino acids in an enzyme is determined by the gene that codes for it. Changes in the amino acid sequence can affect the enzyme's activity and specificity.


Is Enzyme a monomer or polymer?

Enzymes are a type of protein, which are amino acid polymers.


What monomer makes up enzyme?

Enzymes are typically made up of protein molecules, which are made up of long chains of amino acids. Each specific enzyme has its unique sequence of amino acids that gives it its specific structure and function.


What are the building blocks of the enzyme catalase?

How many combinations of amino acids do enzymes have?

Enzymes are proteins composed of 20 different amino acids, so the number of possible combinations of amino acids in an enzyme is vast, with 20 amino acids at each position in the protein chain. The total number of potential combinations is calculated as 20 raised to the power of the number of amino acids in the enzyme.
