Why do enzymes only work on their specific substrates? What is the role of the gallbladder in digestion? How do enzymes increase the rate of a chemical reaction? How does an enzyme affect a chemical reaction? How do enzymes lower the activation energy of chemical reactions?
Explain how enzymes are able to make reactions go faster by discussing activation energy and how enzymes interact with substrates. Why are enzymes specific? What is enzyme activity and how is it different from rate of an enzyme reaction?
Drugs generally work by interacting with receptors on the surface of cells or enzymes (which regulate the rate of chemical reactions) within cells. Receptor and enzyme molecules have a specific three-dimensional structure which allows only substances that fit precisely to attach to it. This is ...
The primary site of DOPAL burden is the pre-synaptic terminal, where its buildup is favored by a combination of defective dopamine storage in synaptic vesicles19, increased MAO activity with aging20, and decreased DOPAL detoxification by the aldehyde dehydrogenase enzymes (ALDH1A1, ALDH2)14. Ac...
Palmisano's group found in an in vitro study using human liver microsomes that avadomide underwent oxidative metabolism mediated by cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes (mainly CYP3A4 and CYP1A2) but did not influence the inhibition or induction of CYP enzymes. They studied the interaction of avadomide...
Drug class specific non-antimicrobial activities of antibiotics Sulfonamides Although sulfonamides are antimetabolites of PABA [6,7], they are multifunctional drugs as their -SO2NH- (or -OSO2NH-, -NHSO2NH-) moieties interact with metal ions, amino acid residues, as well as DNA- or RNA-moieti...
However, the accumulation of substrates is not caused by a decrease in the activity of any known lysosomal enzymes. Recently, the first two patients with MPSPS outside Yakutia and Turkey were diagnosed. These patients exhibited symptoms similar to, but somewhat milder than, those previously ...
