What do we mean when we say an enzyme is saturated with substrate? When an enzyme is saturated with substrate, how does adding more (a) substrate and (b) enzyme affect the rate of the reaction?
a. How does an enzyme speed up the reaction of a substrate? b. After the products have formed, what happens to the enzyme?
Amino Acids, Proteins, and Enzymes
Enzymes
Enzymes: slow down a reaction as they are consumed. increase the amount of substrate needed for a reaction to occur. raise the activation energy needed for a reaction to occur. lower the activation energy needed for a reaction to occur. decrease the amount of substrate needed for a reaction to occur.
