Enzymes Flashcards
(11 cards)
Step 1 of Lock and key hypothesis
Shape of substrate is complementary to the shape of the active site(matches the shape of active site)
Step 2 of lock and key hypothesis
Once bound the reaction takes place
products released from surface of the enzyme
What does the enzyme require
Optimum PH and temp because they are proteins
Also need optimum conc
What is the temp for a human
Range around 37 degrees
When an enzyme is said to no longer work it is also known as
Denatured
Optimum ph for enzymes is
PH 7
calculation for enzyme activity
Rate=Change/time
Proteases
Type of enzyme used to break down proteins
Carbohydrases covert carbohydrates to
Simple sugars
Protease convert proteins to
Amino acids
Lipases convert lipids(fats) into
fatty acids and glycerol
