Shape Active Adsorption Alter State Immobilisaton Methods Affect

Adsorption and covalent/ionic bonding methods may alter an enzyme's active site shape. Random orientation in adsorption can also reduce activity.

Adsorption and covalent/ionic bonding methods may alter an enzyme's active site shape. Random orientation in adsorption can also reduce activity.

Front State which immobilisaton methods may affect the shape of an enzyme's active site and explain why
Back Adsorption and covalent/ionic bonding:
  • Bonds can cause shape of molecule to change & if formed close to active site, this can alter its shape
  • In adsorption, random orientation as a result of physical adsorption could alter its activity
