Denaturation
- the shape of the enzyme becomes distorted.
Cofactors
and
Coenzymes
Cofactors
: metal ions
Coenzymes
: organic molecules
globular proteins
compact and soluble
spherical to oblate or egg-shaped
For example:
Substrate
: Lactose
Enzyme
: Lactase
The
active sites
are where the substrate molecules fit in.
The substrate and the the active site of the enzyme are
complementary
.
Only
one substrate
at a time can fit in the active site of the enzyme.
Process
:
Substrate enters active site of the enzyme
Chemical reactions is triggered by the enzyme
Enzyme releases the products
end in "
ase
"
Enzymes are
reusable
