An enzymes structure is not affected by a reaction. The enzyme has the same structure at the end of the reaction as it did before it took place. Note: Enzyme structures may change during the reaction itself but will return to their original shape etc when the reaction is complete.

What type of protein speeds up a chemical reation?
An enzyme
What does enzymes functions depend on?
The function of an enzyme is dependent on the shape of the enzyme. The structure and shape determines what the enzyme can do.
Destruction of the structure of an enzyme is called what?
denaturation
Why does the structure of a protein or enzyme determine its function?
Yes.
Which two levels of protein structure principally determine the active site of an enzyme?
Quaternary and Tertiary levels of protein structure principally determine the active site of an enzyme.
What type of protein speeds up a chemical reation?
An enzyme
What enzyme do in digestion?
speed up chemical reation....breaking down food
What does enzymes functions depend on?
The function of an enzyme is dependent on the shape of the enzyme. The structure and shape determines what the enzyme can do.
What effect does the lock and key process have on the enzyme structure?
Easily Explained thusly: When the key is in the lock the Enzyme has one Structure, and when the key is not in the lock the Enzyme has another Structure. Note that the presence of a key may either activate or deactivate an Enzyme, depending upon the conditions.
What happen to the enzyme after the enzyme is boiled?
They are said to be denatured.Their tritiary structure is lost.
Destruction of the structure of an enzyme is called what?
denaturation
What is the structure labeled A in each panel?
An enzyme
Do the amino acids that are in the active site of an enzyme have to be near each other in the enzyme's primary structure?
no
Changes in pH or temperature decrease enzyme activity because bonds break and the enzyme returns to its tertiary structure?
Changes in pH or temperature decrease enzyme activity because bonds b reak and the enzyme returns to it's PRIMARY structure. (not tertiary)
What is lost when an enzyme is denatured?
The enzymatic function of the enzyme is lost when it is denatured. Of course this also means that the enzyme's structure has changed too. Depending on the severity of the denaturation, the enzyme may be able to revert back to its original structure once the abused conditions are removed.
Term describes the alteration of an enzyme's structure?
denaturation
What structure is an acid necessary for enzyme action?
stomach
