How do substrate concentration and pH affect enzyme controlled reactions?
How do substrate concentration and pH affect enzyme controlled reactions? Extreme pH values can cause enzymes to denature. Enzyme concentration: Increasing enzyme concentration will speed up the reaction, as long as there is substrate available to bind to. Substrate concentration: Increasing substrate concentration also increases the rate of reaction to a certain point. How can pH affect enzyme activity? Enzymes are also sensitive to pH . Changing the pH of its surroundings will also change the shape of the active site of an enzyme. This contributes to the folding of the enzyme molecule, its shape, and the shape of the...
