For this question, we are to determine the major theme involved in the following statement.
00:06
Enzymes unravel and stop functioning if the environment gets too hot.
00:10
So remember what happens with the enzyme is that it denatures due to certain conditions.
00:18
So an enzyme is usually folded up.
00:24
Enzymes are folded into a particular shape.
00:35
And now, just to remind ourselves, enzymes are proteins.
00:41
So they are folded into a particular shape, also known as a confirmation.
00:49
So when there are certain conditions that are present, this shape actually changes.
00:55
And these conditions lead to this shape change, which can be either beneficial or inhibitory.
01:03
For example, if we start with the beneficial shape change, it would be one where the enzyme actually folds up, because when the enzyme is made, when the protein is synthesized, it does not come out fully folded right away.

It has to fold up...
