Enzymes-Science

1. Lock and key method

   • -Substrate + enzyme fit together -"Enzyme/substrate comlex"

2. Above the opyimum pH or temperature, the active site denatures

   • -Changes shape -Lock and key no longer fits
   • Permanently damaged

3. Functional protiens

4. Affected by pH and temperature

5. Specific to a substrate

6. "Biological catalysts"

   • Speed up chemical reactions
