What are the chemical composition of enzymes?

Question

What are the configurations of enzymes?

Answer 1

Enzymes are proteins. They are made up of the naturally occuring amino acids, so chemically they contian carbon, hydrogen,oxygen, nitrogen and a little sulfur.
They are ussually globular proteins - that means the protein is folded in such a way that the enzyme is roughly spherical.

Answer 2

Chemical Composition Of Enzymes

Answer 3

All enzymes are proteins, per definition. Not all
proteins are enzymes, though. Proteins that act like
katalysts in chemical reactions are called enzymes.
Their exact function is determined by their structure,
which is a combination of the sequence of amino acids
(from which all proteins are build up). The sequence
will result in a certain three-dimensional structure
that may be stabilized by moyeties other than amino
acids, that are added to the protein backbone. That
complete structure determines the function. Factors
that modify enzyme strucutre will often also affect
the function (more often than not distroy function).
THink of other enzymes that nibble at your enzyme, or
dissolvents that force the protein in a different,
wrong, three-dimensional structure. Heating will
change (often destroy) enzymic function. In few cases
the activity of enzyme 1 will change the function of
enzyme 2 and so forth, so that a chain of reactions
can take place.

Enzymes are so diverse in function, structure, and
characteristics that it is difficult to draw a general
picture. Think of it this way: can you 'draw a typical
animal'?

Answer 5

Tertiary proteins that undergo folding to give the enzyme's active site

Answer 6

Enzymes are made of protein.

Wikipedia has a very nice explanation.
