This module discusses the characteristics of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. Enzymes are a special class of proteins that perform a wide variety of functions essential for the well-being of a living organism. In humans, a class of enzymes, which is of particular interest, are the liver enzymes. They break down all toxins encountered by humans. Research and describe the underlying causes for the elevated levels of any one of the liver enzymes described in a liver function test.Ask ONE (1) clarifying question about a topic you find difficult or want to learn more about from the concepts introduced in this module.In your response to your peer’s posts, locate a resource that may help address the clarifying question regarding the genetic topic in the initial post.

Catalysis and Enzymatic Reactions

Catalysis is the kind of chemical reaction in which the rate (speed) of a reaction is enhanced by the catalyst which is not consumed during the process of reaction and afterward it is removed when the catalyst is not used to make up the impurity in the product. The enzymatic reaction is the reaction that is catalyzed via enzymes.

Lock And Key Model

The lock-and-key model is used to describe the catalytic enzyme activity, based on the interaction between enzyme and substrate. This model considers the lock as an enzyme and the key as a substrate to explain this model. The concept of how a unique distinct key only can have the access to open a particular lock resembles how the specific substrate can only fit into the particular active site of the enzyme. This is significant in understanding the intermolecular interaction between proteins and plays a vital role in drug interaction.
