Question

Identify key structural components, properties and functions of an enzyme.

Accepted Answer

CatalaseStructural components:Quaternary structureContains four prosthetic heam groupsFe2+ present in each heam groupProperties:Iron ion allows catalase to interact with hydrogen peroxide and speed up its breakdownFunction:Catalyst for breakdown of hydrogen peroxideGets rid of it bc buildup can be toxic to  cells and cell components
