Objective/s:
• Describe the components of an enzyme
• Determine how different factors affect enzyme activity.
CONCEPT
The compounds that enzymes act upon are known as substrates. The
substrate can bind to a specific place in the enzyme called the active site. By
temporarily binding to the substrate, an enzyme can lower the energy needed for
a reaction to occur, thus making this reaction faster. The energy required for a
chemical reaction to occur is known as the activation energy. Once the reaction
between an enzyme and a substrate is complete, the substrate is changed to a
product while the enzyme remains unchanged. The rate of the reaction between
an enzyme and a substrate can be affected by different factors such as
temperature, pH, substrate concentration, and enzyme concentration.
