BIOMOLECULES AND ENZYMES

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Enzymes are mainly composed of globular proteins. When an enzyme is formed, it is made by stringing together between 100 and 1, 000 amino acids in a very specific and unique order. The chain of amino acids then folds into a unique shape.

Detailed explanation-3: -Enzymes are made of chains of proteins called amino acids. Some of them are naturally occurring in the human body and others we need to consume through food.

Detailed explanation-4: -The ability of proteins to undergo shape changes and reversibly so, make them most suited to function as enzymes among other things. Other biological macromlecules like sugars and fats are less suited for such a function.
