Question

Choose the incorrect statement. Enzyme activity declines both below and above the optimum temperature. Allosteric enzymes follow typical Michaelis Menten kinetics Increase in substrate concentration initially increases the velocity of the enzymatic reaction A rise or fall in optimum pH reduces enzyme activity.

Answer 1

Answer:

Enzymes are biological catalysts (also known as biocatalysts) that speed up biochemical reactions in living organisms, and which can be extracted from cells and then used to catalyse a wide range of commercially important processes. This chapter covers the basic principles of enzymology, such as classification, structure, kinetics and inhibition, and also provides an overview of industrial applications. In addition, techniques for the purification of enzymes are discussed.
