Proteins, Catalysts and
Enzymes
- The Basics of Enzymes
- enzymes are made of protein
- proteins are made up
of long chains of
amino acids
- the amino acid
chains are folded to
form the active site
- proteins act as
structural components
of tissues, hormones,
as antibodies and as
catalysts
- proteins are made up
of long chains of
amino acids
- enzymes act as catalysts for
- building large molecules
from lots of smaller ones
- changing one
molecule into
another
- breaking down large
molecules into smaller
ones
- building large molecules
from lots of smaller ones
- enzymes are made of protein
- Factors Effecting Enzymes
- Enzyme activity affected by
temperature and pH
- High temperature and
wrong pH can affect the
shape of the active site
of an enzyme and stop it
working
- the enzymes get
denatured
- the enzymes get
denatured
- Enzyme activity affected by
temperature and pH
