what are the different processes involved in enzymes?
8617
A process called catalysis happens. Catalysis is when the substrate is changed. It could be broken down or combined with another molecule to make something new. It will break or build chemical bonds. When done, you will have the enzyme/products complex.

2. High temperatures, such as autoclaving, boiling, and pasteurization, denature (def) proteins and enzymes. 3. Cold temperatures, such as refrigeration and freezing, slow down or stop enzyme reactions.

To catalyze a reaction, an enzyme will grab on (bind) to one or more reactant molecules. These molecules are the enzyme's substrates. In some reactions, one substrate is broken down into multiple products. In others, two substrates come together to create one larger molecule or to swap pieces.

According to the type of reactions that the enzymes catalyze, enzymes are classified into seven categories, which are oxidoreductases, transferases, hydrolases, lyases, isomerases, ligases, and translocases.

The enzymes can efficiently catalyze various biochemical reactions and promote the metabolism of organisms under conditions in the normal body. Life activities such as digestion, absorption, respiration, exercise and reproduction are all enzymatic reactions. Therefore, Enzymes are the basis for cells to survive.

Enzymes are proteins, and they make a biochemical reaction more likely to proceed by lowering the activation energy of the reaction, thereby making these reactions proceed thousands or even millions of times faster than they would without a catalyst.

Because most enzyme reactions are reversible, an enzyme can synthesize and decompose molecules. Enzymes reaction rate is dependable on several factors: pH, temperature, and concentration of both the enzyme and substrate.
261256
Enzymes bind with chemical reactants called substrates. There may be one or more substrates for each type of enzyme, depending on the particular chemical reaction. In some reactions, a single-reactant substrate is broken down into multiple products.

Enzymes are proteins that perform the everyday work within a cell. This includes increasing the efficiency of chemical reactions, making energy molecules called ATP, moving components of the cell and other substances, breaking down molecules (catabolism) and building new molecules (anabolism).

Types of enzymes Amylase breaks down starches and carbohydrates into sugars. Protease breaks down proteins into amino acids. Lipase breaks down lipids, which are fats and oils, into glycerol and fatty acids.

Two special and common types of proteins are enzymes and hormones. Enzymes, which are produced by living cells, are catalysts in biochemical reactions (like digestion) and are usually complex or conjugated proteins. Each enzyme is specific for the substrate (a reactant that binds to an enzyme) it acts on.

The enzyme types used today for industrial processes can be found in the human body: e.g. protease, lipase and amylase. Enzymes play an essential role in each living cell of our body – whether they are organs, muscles, bones, nerves, etc. Without enzymes our body would not function at all.
