How the does the shape of an enzyme affect the reaction?

The shape of an enzyme depends on the reaction that it needs to catalyze.
Enzymes with more active sites can catalyze several reactions at once.
The shape of an enzyme determines which reaction it can catalyze.

Answer:

The shape of an enzyme determines which reaction it can catalyze.

Explanation:

Each enzyme is specific to one type of reaction. According to the structure of each enzyme, it has an active site capable of binding to a specific substrate, so the shape of the enzyme determines the type of reaction to be catalyzed.

Once the reaction occurs, the enzyme releases the product of the reaction and the enzyme is available for another reaction.

Regarding the other options:

  • The shape of an enzyme no depends on the reaction that it needs to catalyze.
  • Due to their specificity, enzymes can only catalyze one reaction at a time
  • The shape of the enzyme is not altered after the reaction.
