Study Notes

Enzymes

Enzymes are proteins that act as catalysts in living organisms.
Enzyme activity is influenced by temperature.
Optimum temperature for many enzymes is 40°C.
Temperatures above or below the optimum can denature enzymes, altering their active site shape.
Enzyme activity is also affected by pH levels.
Enzymes are specific to particular reactions, meaning a specific substrate must fit into their active site for a reaction to occur.
Enzymes are reusable.
