What happens to enzymes at low temperatures?
enzyme reactions are slow. This is because there are less collisions between the enzyme and
substrate
What happens to the enzyme at high temperature?
They
speed up
as the temperature rises until an
optimum
temperature is reached. After this point the reaction will
slow down
and eventually
stop.
enzyme and ph
Most enzymes work fastest in
neutral
conditions. Making the solution more
acid
or alkaline will slow the reaction down.
what is the lock and theory?
The same way a
key
fits into the lock. The substrate Fits into the enzyme
active-site
. The
enzyme
Is the lock, and the substrate is the key.
Structure of DNA
Made up of
2
strands
Double helix
4
bases
What does denatured mean?
when the
active-site
changes shape.
Enzymes
become denatured at high temperatures, or when the enzyme reaches the
optimum
pH
