The rate of enzyme reaction can be affected by substrate concentration. As the substrate concentration increases, the enzyme reaction increases until all of the active sites are occupied by the ...

A continued increase in pH results in a sharp decrease in activity as the enzyme’s active site changes shape. It is now denatured. As the substrate concentration increases so does the rate of ...

This illustration depicts the process of enzyme catalysis. The enzyme (blue) binds to its substrate (red) to form an enzyme-substrate complex. The enzyme then catalyzes the conversion of the substrate ...

Motivated by this, the fledgling bioengineer and his team created a new material that retains the key structural features of the enzyme's natural substrate while still being simple enough to allow ...

However, it is safe to say that no enzyme is perfect in the sense of catalyzing only a single reaction with a single substrate. For enzymes such as P450s and glutathione S-transferases that are ...

Gaucher disease is a rare inherited condition caused by the body’s inability to break down a fatty substance called glucocerebroside. This happens due to a lack of an important enzyme known ...
