Source sentences:
text: One of the key aspects of an enzyme’s activity is where that enzyme is active–and that “where” can mean a location within the body, or within a cell itself.
text: It is essential that each enzyme be transported to and kept in its special place–and that it be inactive when it’s where it does not belong and active only when it gets where it’s supposed to be.
text: In addition to allosteric inhibitors, there are allosteric activators that bind to locations on an enzyme away from the active site, inducing a conformational change that increases the affinity of the enzyme’s active site(s) for its substrate(s).
text: Enzymes are biologically active molecules (typically proteins) that speed up/catalyze a chemical reaction, without itself (the enzyme) being affected.
text: These enzymes are active only in the lysosome’s acidic interior; their acid-dependent activity protects the cell from self-degradation in case of lysosomal leakage or rupture, since the pH of the cell is neutral to slightly alkaline.
text: Furthermore, the enzyme will still be active and largely uncontaminated, so can be used again.
text: At a pH of 7, the enzymes that were present from the stomach are no longer active.
text: The fermentation process lasts for days, and the enzyme is active throughout.
text: Conversely, an enzyme with the necessary associated cofactor or coenzyme is called a holoenzyme and is active.
text: Enzymes be active at different target sites
text: In such cases, an enzyme lacking a necessary cofactor or coenzyme is called an apoenzyme and is inactive.
