Enzyme
Definition
biological catalyst, speed up chemical reaction w/o being altered
-
Nature & Function
contain additional nonprotein (carbohydrate, lipids/ phosphate)
complete enzyme (holoenzyme), protein part (apoenzyme), nonprotein (cofactor)
-
-
range pH of 4.5 - 8.0
optimum pH : amylase (4.8), invertase (5.0), pancreatic a-amylase (6.9)
-
optimum at very high/low: pepsin (1.8), arginase (10.0)
temp. > 40°C, decrease due to denaturation
-
Properties
