ALL ABOUT ENZYMES

WORDLEACTIVE SITESENZYME GRAPHS>Many of life’s important processes cannot occur wiithout enzymes
>Enzyme are very specific in their functions. Each enzyme has only one specific reaction it can help
>Enzyme are not changed when they perform their function therefore it can be used over and oover again
>Some enzyme may even be used repeatedly on the same set of small molecules to build a long chain of repeating units
>As with all proteins its SHAPE is what determines its function
>High temperatures, extreme pH values, substrate concentration are some factors which may affect the shape of an enzyme molecule:
This process is called DENATURING, this makes the enzyme less effective possibly useless.
