Enzymes

Enzymes are primarily composed of proteins.

The optimum pH of the enzyme is 6.6.

The active site is the region on the enzyme where substrate molecules bind and undergo a chemical reaction.

A pH range of 1 - 7 is considered acidic.

The primary role of enzymes is to speed up biochemical reactions.

Catalysts.

Enzyme activity typically increases with temperature up to a certain point, after which it may denature and lose activity.

Enzyme denaturation is the process where an enzyme loses its three-dimensional structure and, consequently, its functionality.

Substrates are the reactants that enzymes act upon during a chemical reaction.

Enzyme specificity refers to the ability of an enzyme to select and catalyze a specific substrate, ensuring that only certain reactions occur.
