Describe the chemistry of two types of enzymes and explain how the

apoenzyme forms.

Enzymes :
An enzyme, a substance that acts as a catalyst in living organisms, regulates the rate at which a
chemical reaction proceeds without changing itself.

Two types of enzymes and their chemistry:

1. Catabolic enzymes- break down large molecules into smaller or separate molecules.
2. Anabolic enzymes- combine (conjugate) or combine small molecules to larger or new molecules.

Enzymes are catalysts that speed up the rate of reactions. Most catalysts, but not all, are made of chains
of amino acids called proteins that speed up the rate of reactions in chemical systems. The activity of a
catalyst depends on how the proteins are assembled, what they bind to, and what they react with.

Explanation:

Enzymes are proteins that perform various functions in the system. It can act as a catalyst, catalyze a
reaction, or aid in a chemical breakdown. These proteins catabolize and anabolize a reaction by binding
reactant molecules (substrates) to their active site, allowing a series of amino acid changes to break or
form a chemical bond.

Apoenzyme :
An apoenzyme is the inactive protein portion of an enzyme that is formed from a series of amino acids
expressed by a gene. Apoenzyme is formed due to lack of polypeptide chain and non-protein in its
chemical components.
