So... what can you do? For this job I need someone with a high productivity rate, moving around faster than I can say molecule.
WINE, DINE, MEET AN ENZYME
NO CELL, NO SERVICE
Amylase says...
I'm a hard worker, great in the pancreas for breaking down those pesky starches.
*confused face*
So.. how does that WORK, though? I'm not following it.
ENZYME CYCLE
Why don't I show you? Imagine this...
Every enzyme has something called an ACTIVE SITE - see that little part of the pie that's cut out? That active site is looking for a SUBSTRATE, or a molecule to act on,to come meet with it get the enzyme doing its job.
YO, WHERE'S MY SUBSTRATE AT?
When your enzyme gets that hug from two little substrates that make up starch, amylose and amylopectin, it's super grateful! That enzyme engulfs its two friends in something called an induced fit where they mesh perfectly together.
HEYYY
TIME TO BREAK YOU APART !
Then, the enzyme is gonna break its two little friends apart -- separate them so they can go their own ways and be their own people. That way, they can be used as energy for the cell.
IT'S NOT YOU; IT'S ME.
DOESN'T MAKE IT HURT ANY LESS...
TIME TO GO OUR SEPARATE WAYS.. IT'S FOR THE COMMON GOOD OF THE CELL.
