Enzymes

Are enzymes only homogeneous?

[Nathan Mallipeddi 2H]

I believe enzymes may be both homogeneous and heterogeneous. There are many enzymes there are heterogeneous in various biological contexts.

[Derek Lee 2K]

Heterogenous enzymes exist as well. Whenever it catalyzes a reaction and is in a different state from the reactant then it's heterogenous.

Do you have any examples of heterogeneous enzymes?

[John Calonia 1D]

What defines an enzyme as homogeneous or heterogeneous?

[Megan Sparrow 1A]

Homogeneous catalysts are those that occupy the same phase as the reaction mixture (typically liquid or gas), while heterogeneous catalysts occupy a different phase. In general, heterogeneous catalysts are solids that are added into gas or liquid reaction mixtures. In heterogeneous catalysis, the reactants adsorb onto binding sites on the surface of the catalyst, and the availability of these reaction sites can limit the rate of heterogeneous reactions.

[Chinyere Okeke 2J]

Since there can be heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysts, I assume there can be heterogeneous and homogeneous enzymes too since they act as catalysts. I know it is easier to assume that an enzyme is homogenous to a reactant because of the biological model that we've seen in biology classes but some heterogeneous enzymes in the context of their reaction.

[Pratika Nagpal]

Are heterogenous catalysts formed again at the end of the reaction. for example, will a solid catalyst be able to be recovered at the end of a reaction ?

[riddhiparikh]

Enzymes possess properties of both homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts.

[Sarthika Chimmula 3H]

Heterogeneous enzymes also exist, as well, as he stated in the lecture.

enzymes are both homogeneous and heterogeneous

[Zara Okeiyi 3C]

No because there are also heterogeneous enzymes.

[005754305]

Enzymes can be homogenous and heterogenous. Homogenous enzymes. Homogenous enzymes are more common because they are usually in the same phase as the reactant. However there are a few cases where they can also be heterogenous where the enzymes are in different phases from the reactants.
Hope this helps!

[Daniel Adolfo 2L]

There can be enzymes of the homogenous and heterogeneous types.
