What is a substrate in the context of enzyme reaction?
Enzyme-substrate specificity means that a substrate can fit into an enzyme similar to a key fitting into a lock. The active site of the enzyme is what determines its specificity. An enzyme can hence catalyze a reaction with a specific substrate, such as amylase catalyzing starch molecules. During these reactions, the substrate is held in a precise optimum position to create and break bonds, catalyzing the molecule.
What is an active site and what is its relationship to an enzyme?
an active site in an enzyme is the area that breaks the bond in its substrate. E.g. a maltose molecule's glycocide bond is broken by the active site in a maltase enzyme.
What is a induced fit hypothesis?
a. The substrate can be altered so it is induced to fit into the enzyme's active site. b. The enzyme changes its shape slightly as it binds to the substrate. c. The enzyme is altered so it is induced to fit many different types of substrate. d. Several sites on an enzyme can be induced to act on a substrate.
How do competitive and noncompetitive inhibitions differ?
A competitive inhibitor often binds to an enzyme's active site. Noncompetitive inhibitors usually bind to a different site on the enzyme.
Which enzyme is used to produce RFLPs?

Which enzyme is present in milk?
caiseum
What is the name of smallest enzyme present in the human body?

What is an adaptive enzyme?
An adaptive enzyme is an enzyme which is present in a cell only under conditions where it is clear of adaptive value.
What endzine does saliva have?
Its enzyme and not endzine, so salivary amylase is the enzyme present in saliva.
Name the enzyme present in human saliva?
A. The enzyme present in the human saliva is called salivary amylase and it starts the chemical digestion of starch. Also, there is another enzyme called lingual lipase which starts the chemical digestion of fats.
Name the enzyme present in saliva of human beings?
Amylase is the enzyme present in saliva of human beings. It helps break down starches into simpler sugars to aid in digestion.
What enzyme is present in infants but absent in adults?
Lactase enzyme is present in infants but can decrease in activity as they grow into adulthood, leading to lactose intolerance in some individuals.
What enzyme is present in bile juice?
No, there are no enzymes in bile.
What enzyme is in the stomach?
The enzyme present in the stomach is pepsin. It breaks down the proteins in food while in your stomach and helps with the digestive process.
Which enzyme present in saliva help in starch digestion?
Salivary amylase
What enzyme is present in saliva what does it do?
Amylase, it breaks down starch into sugar.
