Altering the PH

Each enzyme has a pH range where it works best. Enzyme activity will be slowed if the pH is changed outside of this range. Enzymes can denature if the pH is too high. The three-dimensional structure will not develop correctly until the pH is adjusted. In biological systems, biochemical buffers can keep the enzyme within its optimum pH range.

Effect on temperature

The three-dimensional structure of enzymes is also affected by temperature. Each enzyme has a certain temperature range in which it acts well. A temperature that is too high will denature the enzyme's structure, altering the shape of its active site and preventing it from catalyzing a process properly.

Biological enzymes are added to the washing powder to boost its effectiveness.Give one example of a biological enzyme that can be added to washing powder.Explain the action of this enzyme.

Biological washing powders contain protease and lipase to remove protein stains and fat/grease from clothes. The enzymes break down proteins or fats on the fabric, forming water-soluble substances that can...

An enzyme completely complementary to its substrate would be a very poor enzyme. - Explain why?

Such an enzyme impedes the reaction, stabilizing the substrate instead. When the enzyme is complementary to the substrate the ES(enzyme-substrate) complex is more stable and has less free energy in...

Suppose you are working in a lab to optimize enzyme activity and you observe that the enzyme activity decrease with increase in time. What could be the possible reason/s?

The reasons can be as follows>We know that the enzyme is unstable under the assay conditions.>Enzyme activity decreases due to the change in pH>The reason can be that the substrate...
