Effect of temperature Velocity of enzymatic reaction increases with temperature of the medium which they are most efficient and the same is termed as optimum temperature. As temperatures increases …
Effect of product concentration In case of a reversible reaction catalyzed by a enzyme, as per the law of mass action the rate of reaction is slowed down with …
Effect of enzyme Concentration As there is optimal substrate concentration, rate of an enzymatic reaction or velocity (V) is directly proportional to the enzyme concentration. Presence of excess substrate …
Factors Affecting Enzyme Activity Velocity or rate of enzymatic reaction is assessed by the rate of change inconcentration of substrate or product at a given time …
Coenzymes Enzymes may be simple proteins, or complex enzymes. A complex enzyme contains a non-protein part, called as prosthetic group (co-enzymes). Coenzymes are heat stable low molecular weight …
Classification Of Enzymes Since earlier days to still date, fanciful names such as pepsin, chymotrypsin, etc were used to name enzymes. Later the suffix …
Definition And Characteristics of Enzymes Enzymes are protein catalyst produced by a cell and responsible ‘for the high rate’ and specificity of one or more intracellular or extracellular biochemical …
Enzymes Introduction The global life depends on a series of chemical reactions. Most of the chemical reactions proceed too slowly on their own to sustain life. Hence catalysts are …
