Characteristics of enzyme
How do enzymes work?
allows reactions to happen at lower temps
what causes enzymes to denature?
enzymes structure
what does catalysts do
speed up chemical reaction
what does temperature do?
kinetic energy becomes too high, breaking the hydrogen bonds maintaining the protein's shape
what do protein structures do
Almost all enzymes are globular proteins
what happens to enzymes when it gets to hot?
too much heat can break the enzyme
what does Reusability do in enzymes?
allowing them to catalyze the same reaction repeatedly
How does pH affect enzymes?
if the pH is to high or low the enzymes wont work or might stop working completely
Regulation in the enzymes does?
can be regulated or inhibited by other molecules
