What is a replicase enzyme (protein)? What is the material that an enzyme works on called? What is the area of the enzyme where the substrate binds during chemical reactions? What is the evolutionary history of protease enzyme? What are the cofactors of enzymes?
Why is Kcat/Km referred to as the efficiency of an enzyme? What enzymes serve as catalysts in metabolism? What role do enzymes play in metabolism? How does the type of substrate affect the action of the tyrosinase enzyme? What is the substrate of the enzyme amylase?
Substrate in Chemistry - A substrate is also a substance which an enzyme, substance produced by living cells acts on to produce a chemical reaction. As far as chemistry is concerned, a substrate is generally seen as a chemical material that some other ma
What is the substrate for the enzyme sucrase? When we eatsucrose, it must be digested or broken down into smaller substances, which our cells can absorb. An enzyme (protein) called sucrase speeds up this chemical reaction by breaking the chemical bond in sucrose, the substrate. Can humans di...
Isomaltase (EC 3.2. 1.10) is an enzyme that breaks the bonds linking saccharides, which cannot be broken by amylase ormaltase. ... Its substrate, alpha-limit dextrin, is a product of amylopectin digestion that retains its 1-6 linkage (its alpha 1-4 linkages having already been broken do...
Lyases:Lyases catalyze the removal of a group from a substrate to create double bonds or it may catalyze the reverse reaction. Example: Aldolase, an enzyme in glycolysis, which catalyzes the reaction in which fructose-1, 6-bisphosphate is split to form gly...
What is enzyme inhibition? Describe reversible and irreversible enzyme inhibition. What is the limitation imposed by temperature, pH, and relative concentrations of substrate and enzyme on enzyme activity? Explain. What role do bacteria play in a food web? What is the chief function of pepsin? Wh...
An enzyme is a large molecule but only a small part of the molecule is involved in catalysis. This part is called the active site. Each enzyme has a specific function; to break down a specific substance. This is called the enzyme’s substrate. At the active site, the enzyme and substrat...
When a substrate (molecule which the enzyme breaks down) attaches to an enzyme, it is called the enzyme-substrate complex, or ES. So you know that competitive inhibition is when an inhibitor binds itself to the same place on both the enzyme (E) and the substrate (S) and noncompetitive...
What is hydrogen peroxide broken down into in the presence of catalase enzyme? How does the reaction of hydrogen and catalase compare to one using unboiled catalase? What is the substrate of the enzyme pepsin? What are the products of this enzymatic reaction?
