What factors modify enzyme structure and function?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Quite a lot: Enzymes are under a wide variety of controls. Plain chemistry: they speed reactions. If the stuff to do the reaction (substrate) arent' there, it don't go. Rate changes with temperature, concentration of reactants, etc. Regulation. Negative feedback . generally the end result inhibits enzyme further activity. Not always. Regulators small compounds ..cyclic GMP, cyclic AMP often are regulators.
