The enzyme chains fold over to form unique shapes and it is these shapes that provide the enzyme with its characteristic chemical potential. This suggested that the enzymes shape was being altered by the binding molecule. As Biology Daily Revision Task 36 Enzyme Activity Enzymes Activity Biology Biology Revision For an enzyme-mediated chemical reaction to occur the shape and charge of the substrate must be compatible with the active site of the enzyme. . All enzymes are made up of proteins but all proteins are not enzymes. The structure of amylase an enzyme that breaks down starches and complex sugars into simple sugars is usually quite simple but the enzyme plays an important role in digestion of carbohydratesThere are two different variations of this molecule. Their folded chains of amino acids can be represented by simple shapes. They help in generating. Enzymes are actually made up of 1000s of amino acids that are link...
