Section-C

Case study-
Enzymes are large molecules. They have a special 3D structure. This helps enzymes to get United with their
substrate molecules. The portion of the enzyme by which it gets attached with its substrate is called active site.
A slide change in their enzyme structure may be severely affect its activity. High temperature and poisonous
substances can damage the three-dimensional structure of an enzyme.
Enzymes are required only in very small quantity.since enzymes do not get elected during and after the reaction
they can be used again and again in and therefore small amount of sufficient to carry out the reaction.
