enzyme concentration affects on enzyme activity

Cards (4)

  • affects of increasing the concentration of enzymes
    increases the rate of reaction
  • The more enzyme molecules there are in a solution, the more likely a substrate molecule is to collide with one and form an enzyme-substrate complex.
  • But, if the amount of substrate is limited, there comes a point when there's more than enough enzyme molecules to deal with all the available substrate, so adding more enzyme has no further effect.
  • effect of enzyme concentration
    A) as more active sites are available
    B) substrate amount
    C) enzyme conectration has no further effect
