The formation of an enzyme substrate complex reduces the activation energy required for the reaction to take place by bending bonds. Without an enzyme, very few reactions would have the energy to take place.

Firstly, PCR is used to amplify DNA so that it can be used in analysis. It is particularly useful in processes like forensic science to identify DNA samples left behind at a crime scene. The process begins w...

Amylose is a short coiled molecule. Which makes it compact, Good for storing lots of glucose in a small space.Amylopectin is a branched molecule with many end points for enzymes to access. So lots of hydroly...

mRNA serves as the template from which the tRNA will join to, during the process of translation, to form the polypeptide chain and eventually the protein. if the template is wrong or missing the desired prot...
