Q
Cont
A
Shape and size Analogy " lock and key " Enzymes bind to hold Random collisions Feasible by providing alternative Lower activation energy
1
Q
Enzymes
A
Biological catalyst Specific with substrate Enzymes are protein. Adopt confirmations Active site
2
Q
Binding of substrate
A
Sequence of aa linked by peptide bond to form polymeric enzyme.
Some r groups are polar and not dissociated
Functional groups can be dissociated and Charged
3
Q
Cont
A
Weak and reversible
Enzymes bind substrate hormones bind their receptors. Antibodies bind antigens
4
Q
Prividin alternative route
A
Different route has lower activation energy
Action of enzyme is chymotrypsin present in small intestine catalyses hydrolysis of peptide bonds. Helps digest protein
