- Enzymes
- Biological catalysts
- Speeds up a chemical reactions in any living thing.
- They are type of proteins with long chains of amino acids.
- The chains are folded into unique shapes.
- Every enzyme has a special shape which is fitted into another smaller substance.
- For the enzyme to work it has to be fitted into a substance if it does not the enzymes denature.
- Active site
- The enzymes can denature if the temperature is too high or low, resulting in the bonds of the enzymes breaking.
- Reaction has to be catalysed.
- Enzymes can reach optimum level during the reaction, this is when the enzyme is the most active.
- When the optimum level is ph7 they usually work the best at.
- Enzymes usually work the best at 37 degrees in the human body.
- When the optimum level is ph7 they usually work the best at.
