Enzymes are metabolism controlling agent. Enzymes act as a catalyst to increase the efficiency of chemical reactions without being use up of themselves.Enzymes are made up of Proteins.Without participation of enzymes reaction will proceed slowly and making life impossible.

Define total enzyme concentration?
The optimum pH and optimum temperatures of an enzyme are simply levels that the enzyme work most effectively at. These levels contribute to factors such as the enzyme's protein structure. Different levels of pH and temperature can alter the integrity of the protein, this process is called denaturation. When an enzyme undergoes denaturation, its level of activity is inhibited by failure of the substrate to effectively attach itself to the active site.
What is the Difference between enzyme and regulatory enzyme?
An enzyme is one kind of protein that can catalyze a specific reaction whereas a regulatory enzyme is the enzyme which can regulate a series of reaction which undergo in the living organism. So we can say every enzyme is not a regulatory one but the regulatory enzymes are obviously a special kind of enzyme.
What kind of molecule is an enzyme-?
The type of molecule that is an enzyme is a protein molecule.
How is a catalyst like platinum different from an enzyme?
Catalysts are compounds that change the speed of chemical reactions. An enzyme is a protein and also a catalyst. So an enzyme can be a catalyst, but a catalyst can't be an enzyme.
What does the shape of an enzyme have to do with how well the enzyme works?
The shape allows the enzyme to carry out specific chemical reactions.
Write the name of an enzyme and define its clinical importance?
"protease"; an enzyme that breaks down proteins

What can you do to regain the activity of the enzyme?
The enzyme is inactive at this point. New enzyme must be added to regain enzyme activity
What to enzymes do in an enzyme-substrate?
in an enzyme-substrate complex, the enzyme acts on the substrate .
Does enzyme has proteins?
An enzyme is a protein
What is the active site for an enzyme?
The place where the substrate and the enzyme meet to allow the enzyme to function.
What is an angiotensin converting enzyme?
An angiotensin converting enzyme is an enzyme which catalyzes the creation of angiotensin.
What enzyme is responsible for fat digestion?
the lipase enzyme :)
The binding together of an enzyme and a substrate forms a what?
enzyme-substrate complex
An enzyme that cuts double-stranded DNA at specific nucleotide sequences?
Such an enzyme is called a restriction endonuclease
What is it called when and enzyme and substrate come together?
The binding of an enzyme and a substrate forms an enzyme-substrate complex. It lowers the activation energy of a chemical reaction
