Question

Enzymes are proteins that need to have a shape consistent with the receptor in the reaction for which the enzyme is needed. if a protein enzyme is formed incorrectly, slightly altering its three-dimensional shape, what might happen?

Answer 1

Enzymes are proteins that behave as biological catalysts. They need to have a very specific three-dimensional shape in order for the reaction to occur. If the three-dimensional shape is not formed correctly then the chemical reaction, that is supposed to be promoted by the enzyme, may not occur.
