Title: Enzymes and their reaction to changes in the body
Post by: sawi on Oct 18, 2015
I was wondering if blood comes in direct contact with enzymes?
More specifically, if salt levels in blood increased, would this have a direct impact on catalase enzymes?

Thank you!  lol

Enzymes are highly specific and won't react with whatever. So, if a blood cell, which is larger than an enzyme, were to come in contact, it wouldn't have no effect.

Ok, thanks. But if an individual had high sodium levels, wouldn't that start to have an effect on some enzymes?

Of course, I believe that was addressed in another thread you started, if I'm not mistaken. That's why I left out the answer to it.
