The Enzyme Question Flashcards
1
Q
What is the answer to a protein shape question?
A
the tertiary structure of the active site is complimentary to the shape of the substrate and forms enzyme-substrate complex or antibody-antigen complex
2
Q
What is the answer to a non functional protein question?
A
mutation can cause changes to the primary structure and the tertiary structure
leading to changes to the shape of the active site, and substrate is not complimentary and no enzyme-substrate complex is formed
3
Q
What is the answer to a denatured question?
A
changes in ionic bonds
changes in tertiary structure and active site - so no E-S complex is formed
