Why does an enzyme not work as well if its active site is changed?

Biology
1 answer:
anzhelika [568]3 years ago
6 0
Enzymes are generally very carefully formed in order to catalyze a specific reaction for a specific molecule. The active site is folded in such as way to just allow the desired substrate to fit into it (like a puzzle piece), so changing the site will make it more difficult for this binding to occur. If the binding is more difficult the reaction will be inhibited, hence the enzyme won't work as well(if at all).

Which of the following products of the light reactions of photosynthesis is consumed during the Calvin cycle? A) oxygen B) water
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

NADPH

Explanation:

Light-dependent reactions form the NADPH when the electrons from the water molecule are passed from PS II to PS I and finally to the NADP+. The enzyme NADP reductase catalyzes the reduction of NADP+ into NADPH. The enzyme is located on the stromal side of the thylakoid membranes and therefore, the NADPH is released into the stroma. Stroma is the site for the reaction of the Calvin cycle. During the Calvin cycle, the reduction of 3-phosphoglycerate into glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate uses NADPH as the electron donor.
