Suppose another molecule can block the active site of amylase. What effect would this have on the rate of the reaction and why? It would slow down the rate of the reaction as it would remove the energy needed to facilitate the reaction at the active site and permanently alter the structure of the enzyme. It would slow down the rate of the reaction as it would occupy the space needed for the substrate to efficiently bind with amylase. It would speed up the rate of the reaction as it would facilitate the efficient binding of the substrate with amylase. It would speed up the rate of the reaction as it would provide the energy needed to facilitate the reaction at the active site None of these answers are correct.

The pH can affect the activity of an enzyme-controlled reaction by (Select all that apply): - affecting hydrogen bonding - changing the shape of the enzyme's active site - altering the interaction between the substrate and the enzyme's active site - changing the ionic state of either the enzyme or the substrate - altering the allosteric site

To terminate a reaction in which a restriction enzyme cleaves DNA, researchers often add high concentrations of the metal chelator EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid). Why does the addition of EDTA terminate the reaction?
