Resource summary
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
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
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
