10 Questions
What is the main reason ribozymes are exempted from the classification of most enzymes as proteins?
They are RNA molecules, not proteins
What happens to the active site of an enzyme when it is dissociated into subunits?
It is disrupted, affecting the enzyme's catalytic activity
What is the role of cofactors in enzyme activity?
Provide additional chemical components that are mostly inorganic ions
What is the general effect on an enzyme's catalytic activity when it is denatured or dissociated?
The catalytic activity is usually lost
How do enzymes generally react with substrates?
They react with only one substrate to form one product
What is the general effect on an enzyme's catalytic activity when it is denatured or dissociated?
It usually loses its catalytic activity
What is the main reason ribozymes are exempted from the classification of most enzymes as proteins?
They are a type of RNA and not proteins
What is the role of cofactors in enzyme activity?
They provide additional chemical components, mostly inorganic ions
What happens to the active site of an enzyme when it is dissociated into subunits?
It is disrupted, leading to loss of catalytic activity
How do enzymes generally react with substrates?
They are generally highly specific and react with only one substrate to form one product
