|
choose 3 general characterisics of enzymes
|
|
Enzymes act rapidly.
|
|
|
Enzyme activity can beslowed down or stoppedby enzyme inhibitors. (:heavy metal such as leador mercury.etc)
|
|
|
Some enzymes needcofactors to work moreefficiently. An example ofa cofactor is vitamin B, and magnesium ion.
|
|
|
enzymes are not reusable
|
|
|
enzymes are not efficient
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Cofactors are key components of enzyme pathways that facilitate the activity or regulation of enzymes. Cofactors can be metals (e.g. magnesium, copper) or organic compounds (e.g. heme, sugars, proteins). Cofactors come in three types including cofactors, coenzymes, and prosthetic groups.
Detailed explanation-2: -Cofactors can either be ions, such as zinc and iron ions, or organic molecules, such as vitamins or vitamin-derived molecules. Many of these cofactors will attach near the substrate binding site to facilitate the binding of the substrate to the enzyme.
