What do you know about the physical and chemical properties of enzymes?

Answer 1

Physical properties and chemical properties of the enzymes:

• They are temperature specific, functions only within a specific temperature range.  

• They are pH specific, functions only within a specific pH range.  

• They are substrate specific, one enzyme is allotted to function for one enzyme only.

• Each enzyme remains unchanged after the reaction.  

• Each enzyme is protein in nature.  

• Each enzyme gets worn out after a certain cycles of reaction, so they needs to be replaced.  

• Each enzyme have an active site, which is where the substrates do attach themselves.
