Enzymes |
-speed up chemical reactions without itself being chemically changed -folded into specific 3D shapes -high temps or drastic change in ph can break hydrogen bonds and cause denaturation |
|
Enzyme activity |
As the temperature rises, enzyme and substrate molecules move about faster and increase effective collisions. More enzyme substrate complexes form. Enzyme is most active at optimum temp |
|
Lock and key hypothesis |
Where substrate binds with the active site of an enzyme that has a complementary shape to the substrate |
