There are approximately 40‚000 enzymes living in one human cell‚ each responsible for a chemical reaction. Enzymes are complex 3D protein molecules created by amino acids‚ forming a unique sequence that produces hydrogen bonds‚ eventually formulating an enzyme within plants and animals (Boyle & Senior‚ 2002). Working alongside other molecules‚ they uphold a stable reaction system. The function of an enzyme is to aid and increase chemical reactions and organise metabolism‚ while maintaining homeostasis

May 1‚ 2013 Enzymes as Drug Targets Enzymes are defined as any of numerous proteins produced in living cells that accelerate or catalyze the metabolic processes of an organism. Enzymes are usually very selective in the molecules that they act upon‚ called substrates‚ often reacting with only a single substrate. The substrate binds to the enzyme at a location called the active site just before the reaction catalyzed by the enzyme takes place. Enzymes can speed up chemical reactions by up to

predicted that the enzymes in the pineapple will denature when the temperature is changed. The prediction was partly correct. Pineapples have special enzymes that denature gelatin molecules. Which is the reason why the pineapple and gelatin test tube remained filled with liquid‚ instead of turning into jelly which gelatin does when it’s molecules are not disturbed. Why our hypothesis was partly incorrect was lacked depth in that when changing the temperature by heating the pineapple to 40C it actually

Reactions Enzymes are proteins found in living things that speed up chemical reactions. They aid in nearly all metabolic processes‚ such as food digestion‚ molecule synthesis‚ and the storage/ release of energy. An enzyme speeds up the rate of the chemical reactions by lowering the reaction’s activation energy‚ which means that by definition‚ an enzyme functions as biological catalyst. The activation energy is the energy that is used to get a reaction started. The function of an enzyme is dependent

A Snapshot of a pineapple story Johanne Wayne Colorado Christian University Cross-Cultural Communications COM314A Dr. Jacob Kitonsa February 13‚ 2014 A Snapshot of a pineapple story One of the great missionary accounts for me was Otto Koning’s pineapple story. God used his pineapple garden in Dutch New Guinea to conquer a huge weakness of his. The account happened over a period of seven years and the lesson to learn from this story is about yielding your personal rights. When you learn to

CHAPTER 4: ENZYMES Enzymes are biological catalysts. There are about 40‚000 different enzymes in human cells‚ each controlling a different chemical reaction. They increase the rate of reactions by a factor of between 106 to 1012 times‚ allowing the chemical reactions that make life possible to take place at normal temperatures. They were discovered in fermenting yeast in 1900 by Buchner‚ and the name enzyme means "in yeast". As well as catalysing all the metabolic reactions of cells (such as respiration

milk Introduction Enzymes are globular protein‚ responsible for most of the chemical activities of living organisms. They are made up of long chains of amino acids containing carbon‚ hydrogen‚ oxygen and nitrogen (Gunsch‚ 2012). The role of enzyme is to act as catalysts‚ substances that speed up chemical reactions without being chemically altered during the process. The speeding up of chemical reactions is done by lowering the activation energy required to start a reaction. Enzymes are specific in

structure of the enzyme is mainly dependent on the active site and variable groups. Extreme temperatures or extreme pHs can alter the structure of an enzyme. Enzymes function to lower the activation energy to break the bonds. They achieve this by putting stress and pressure on the bonds or creating a microenvironment for the substrate. Enzymes are regulated by inhibitors or activators and can be inhibited by the products of the reaction‚ called feedback inhibition. Enzymes are catalytic proteins;

feasibility study of Pineapple (Ananas Comosus‚ Linn) Peelings as main ingredient in making Particle Board. Science and Technology Department‚ Kidapawan City National High School. The study was entitled “Feasibility Study of Pineapple (Ananas Comosus‚ Linn) Peelings as main ingredient in making Particle Board”. The study aimed to produce particle board out of pineapple peelings and answer the following questions: 1) Does the quality of the produced particle board out of pineapple peelings comparable
