Enzymes and Factors that
affect Enzyme Activity
Lets talk proteins
Proteins were both made and used as enzymes in the last activity
Same bonds
as tertiary level
(still R- groups)

Enzymes
Enzymes:
Non-competitive inhibition:
Inhibitor blocks another site
on the enzyme and blocks the
enzyme from doing its job.
What factors Affect Enzymatic Activity?
Denaturation: when an enzymes structure
(especially the active site) is changed due
to the environment and can no longer function
in the proper way
Temperature:
a higher temperature generally makes for
higher rates of reaction
Increasing or decreasing the temperature
outside of a tolerable range can affect
chemical bonds
VERY high temperatures generally cause
enzymes to denature
