CHARACTERISTICS AND SPECIFICITY OF ENZYMES

Characteristics of enzymes

-Chemicals being proteins show all properties of proteins. 

-They have their particular isoelectric focuses at which they are least dissolvable. 

-Like proteins, they can be denatured by changes in pH and temperature. 

-The protein catalyzed responses happen beneath 100oC, at air pressure, and close by impartial pH. 

-Catalysts experience physical changes during the response yet return to their unique structure toward the finish of the response. 

-Proteins display tremendous synergist power. The paces of enzymatically catalyzed responses are 106 - multiple times more noteworthy than those of the comparing uncatalyzed responses and a few times more prominent than those of the relating artificially catalyzed responses. 

-For instance, the carbonic anhydrase chemical catalyzes the change of carbon dioxide to carbonic acid characteristics of compounds 

-They have their particular isoelectric focuses at which they are least dissolvable. 

-Like proteins, they can be denatured by changes in pH and temperature. 

-The compound catalyzed responses happen underneath 100oC, at the climatic weight, and close by unbiased pH. 

-Compounds experience physical changes during the response yet return to their unique structure toward the finish of the response. 

-Catalysts show gigantic synergist power. The paces of enzymatically catalyzed responses are 106 - multiple times more prominent than those of the relating uncatalyzed responses and a few times more prominent than those of the comparing synthetically catalyzed responses. 

For instance, the carbonic anhydrase chemical catalyzes the change of carbon dioxide to carbonic corrosive 

CO2 + H2O. H2CO3 

-In this response, every chemical atom can hydrate 105 particles of CO2 for every second. 

-Chemical action is controlled in an assortment of ways, extending from powers over the measure of compound protein incorporated by the cell or adjustment of action through reversible communication with metabolic inhibitors and activators or through isoenzymes. 

The specificity of the enzymes 

-One of the trademark includes which recognizes compounds from impetuses is their explicitness. 

-Catalysts are explicit in the response catalyzed and in their selection of substrates. 

-It for the most part catalyzes a solitary synthetic response or a lot of firmly related responses 

-Three sorts of specificities are watched. 

I. Absolute specificity 

At the point when catalysts catalyze just a single specific response, they are said to show supreme explicitness. 

for example, Urease acts just on urea. 

ii. Group specificity 

Chemicals following up on a gathering of substances that have a specific kind of linkage regular to that gathering of substances are said to display bunch explicitness. 

Amylase hydrolyses the gathering of substances like starch, dextrin, and glycogen, which have a similar sort of glycosidic linkages (α1,4). 

iii. Optical specificity

Practically all proteins show a serious extent of optical particularity. 

There are sure proteins which catalyze the hydrolysis of the same gathering of substances having the same optical action 

Eg. D-amino corrosive oxidase follows up on D-amino corrosive and L-amino corrosive oxidase follows up on L-amino corrosive. 

Maltase catalyzes the hydrolysis of α-yet, not β-glycosides.
