BIOMOLECULES AND ENZYMES

Detailed explanation-1: -Enzymes are involved in most of the biochemical reactions that take place in organisms. About 4, 000 such reactions are known to be catalyzed by enzymes, but the number may be even higher.

Detailed explanation-2: -The first EC number classifies the enzyme reaction mechanism into six groups, namely oxidation–reduction, transition, hydrolysis, dissociation, isomerization and synthesis (creating new chemical bonds with the initial assistance of ATP). Examples of enzymes classified by EC number are: EC 1.

Detailed explanation-3: -They can only work with specific molecules and only do specific tasks. Because they are so specific, their structure is very important. If only one amino acid of the enzyme is messed up, the enzyme might not work.

Detailed explanation-4: -Can ONE Enzyme carry out 100 different reaction? No, Enzymes are very specific, it would be 100 different enzymes for 100 different reactions.
