Question

Identify the active site of the scissors enzyme, its substrate, and the chemical reaction it catalyzes.

WILL GIVE 2 MEDALS!!!

Answer 1

How much do you know about enzymes to begin with?

Answer 2

I know that enzymes are catalysts in living things. Enzymes help speed up biochemical reactions.

Answer 3

So what do you think it is?

Answer 4

Restriction enzymes are molecular scissors that cut DNA into pieces.

Answer 5

okay
so this question is asking you to identify stuff
where is the figure?

Answer 6

What figure are you talking about?

Answer 7

Anyways can you just help me? Please

Answer 8

i was assuming you have a picture with this question

Answer 9

No. Sorry there is no picture. Oh well. I got the answer anyways thank you.

Answer 10

alright then
you already said what scissors enzyme is and what its substrate is

Answer 11

Yes. I just need the chemical reaction.

Answer 12

there are different ways to cut
one of the ways is hydrolysis

Answer 13

Okay. Is that the chemical reaction though?

Answer 14

its depends on which enzyme is doing the cleavage job
hydrolysis is a type of chemical reaction which involved water to break down something
so if you want to go down to chemistry basics, you could say decomposition using water. In biology we have different ways to name the reactions

Answer 15

Okay thank you for all your help. I will now give you your 2 medals.

Answer 16

Bye!!!!
