For example, coenzyme NADH and the pyruvate substrate should be added to the apoenzyme in lactate dehydrogenase in order to perform its catalytic function. Coenzymes cannot be synthesized inside the body so they must be taken with food in the diet. Therefore, vitamins and minerals are ...
Any of the proteins produced in living cells that act as catalysts in the metabolic processes of an organism. For example, enzymes break down the large molecules found in food into smaller molecules so they can be digested. Did You Know?No matter how hard you find chemistry in school, you...
Step-by-Step Text Solution:1. Definition of Apoenzyme: An apoenzyme is the inactive form of an enzyme. It is the protein component of an enzyme that requires a cofactor to become active.2. Compon
The invention concerns the use of the apobec-1 protein or associated proteins for treating atherosclerosis and obesity, type II diabetes (non-insulin-dependent), or other diseases, characterised in particular by hyperlipidemia and/or hyperglycemia, caused for example by a level of chylomicrons and/...
This is different from the situation in, for example, phydroxybenzoate hydroxylase =-=[30,31]-=- and demonstrates that in VAO, the FAD binds via a typical lock-and-key approach to a binding site that has already been organized [29].R.H.H. van den Heuvel et al. / International ...
