Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What happens to an enzyme when it is denatured?
  • Step 1: Enzymes are proteins that have a specific three-dimensional shape.
  • Step 2: This shape is important because it allows the enzyme to function properly and interact with other molecules.
  • Step 3: Denaturation occurs when the enzyme's shape is altered due to factors like heat, pH changes, or chemicals.
  • Step 4: When the enzyme is denatured, it loses its specific shape.
  • Step 5: Without the correct shape, the enzyme can no longer perform its function.
  • Step 6: As a result, the enzyme becomes inactive.
