What are the enzyme properties?
Specific and very efficient
2
New cards
How are enzymes specific?
Only catalyse one specific reaction
3
New cards
How are enzymes efficient?
High turnover rate -> Can convert many substrate molecules into products per unit time
4
New cards
What is activation energy?
Energy needed to start chemical reactions -> Energy needed to break existing chemical bonds in molecules
5
New cards
What do enzymes do in the body?
Lower activation energy of a reaction
6
New cards
What does enzymes lowering activation energy in the body do?
Reduces input of energy needed for reactions to take place -> can happen at lower temp
