Enzymes are active in all cells as well as in the is one of many enzymes in the mammalian intestines that help break down food molecules into piece! enough to be absorbed into our cells. Specifically, lactase breaks the sugar lactose, a disaccharide, into two monomers, glucose and galactose. glucose LOCAGOE Substrate Model 1: Lactase breaks down lactose ● enzyme Subotrate complex 1. Model 1 represents a reaction in which lactose is broken apart with the assistance of the enzyme lactase. Label the following on Model 1: ● Lactose ● Lactase The enzyme-substrate complex (the temporary molecule formed when the substrate is in the active site of the enzyme) The products of the reactions (glucose and galactose) lactose galactose enzyme 2. Using the names of the reactants and products (instead of chemical formulas), write a chemical reaction for the reaction catalyzed in model 1. Hint: Only products and reactants are included in a chemical reaction. lactose + glucose 3. Referring to the chemical reaction you wrote for the question above, is lactase a reactant, a product, or neither? Explain how you know. 4. Describe the role the enzyme lactase played in the reaction. 5. What do you think could happen to the enzyme lactase at the end of the reaction?
Proteins
We generally tend to think of proteins only from a dietary lens, as a component of what we eat. However, they are among the most important and abundant organic macromolecules in the human body, with diverse structures and functions. Every cell contains thousands and thousands of proteins, each with specific functions. Some help in the formation of cellular membrane or walls, some help the cell to move, others act as messages or signals and flow seamlessly from one cell to another, carrying information.
Protein Expression
The method by which living organisms synthesize proteins and further modify and regulate them is called protein expression. Protein expression plays a significant role in several types of research and is highly utilized in molecular biology, biochemistry, and protein research laboratories.
