What two components are often found as part of an enzyme?
Enzymes are typically composed of two main components: a protein part and a non-protein part, which is commonly referred to as a cofactor.
Which of the following did you include in your response?
What happens to an enzyme’s structure as it exceeds the typical human body temperature?
As the temperature increases beyond the optimal range, enzyme molecules gain kinetic energy. This causes the intermolecular bonds holding the enzyme's shape together to break, leading to the breakdown of the enzyme's structure, a process known as denaturation.
What would happen to the rate of a reaction if the concentration of substrate was increased after the point of saturation?
