BIOMOLECULES AND ENZYMES

Detailed explanation-1: -Enzymes are polymers made up of repeating monomers known as fatty acids and glycerol molecules carboxyl functional groups (COOH) amino acids polypeptides DNA and RNA.

Detailed explanation-2: -Enzymes are proteins comprised of amino acids linked together in one or more polypeptide chains. This sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide chain is called the primary structure. This, in turn, determines the three-dimensional structure of the enzyme, including the shape of the active site.

Detailed explanation-3: -For example, proteins are composed of monomers called amino acids. They are linked together to form a polypeptide chain, which folds into a three dimensional (3D) structure to constitute a functional protein (Figure 1).

Detailed explanation-4: -Simple enzymes consist entirely of one or more amino acid chains. Complex enzymes are composed of one or more amino acid chains joined to cofactors-inorganic ions or organic coenzymes.

Detailed explanation-5: -Explanation: For enzymes (and organic molecules in general) the term monomer refers to a single molecule of the compound being considered. If two of these molecules were to interact in such a way as to become linked in a chain while still remaining distinct and identical, they would be a dimer.
