ENZYMES ::PART 5

Enzyme reaction rates

-          Enzymes bind to substrates and convert them into products.

-          Most of the enzymes are produced in an inactive form called
        zymogen, these zymogen are acted upon by molecules that
        reactivate the enzyme.

-          The velocity of the enzyme catalysed reaction depends upon
        the substrate concentration.

                                                         

-          But at a certain level the enzyme is completely saturated with
        substrate so the velocity reaches a maximum point and don’t
        increase with further addition of substrate.
