Question

examination of enzymes in methods of pathology​

Answer 1

Answer:

Enzymes are basically protein molecules of high molecular masses. These form colloidal solutions when dissolved in water.

These are complex, nitrogenous organic compounds produced by living plants and animals. Enzymes also called 'biochemical catalysts'

Explanation:

Step - 1 - Formation of enzyme-substrate complex

Step - 2 Dissociation of complex

(product)

Mechanism of enzyme catalysis :

On the surface of the enzymes, various cavities are present with characteristics shapes, these cavities process active groups such as NH2, - COOH, etc,. The reactant molecules having a complementary shape fit into the cavities just like a key fits into a lock. This leads to the formation of an activated complex. This complex then decomposes to give the product.

Step 1: ( Activated complex )

Step 2 : E + P
