Enzymes are not used up in chemical reactions. So, what exactly does an enzyme do? Refer to activation energy when explaining your answer. Why do enzymes only work on their specific substrates? Why is cell signaling important? Why are enzymes required for living things to function?
Why do enzymes only work on their specific substrates? Explain how enzymes are able to make reactions go faster by discussing activation energy and how enzymes interact with substrates. How do enzymes lower the activation energy of chemical reactions? How do enzyme molecules react with reactants ...
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...

Moreover, some experimental data suggest that annexins may directly interact with lipid metabolizing enzymes and, in a calcium-dependent or independent manner, with some of their substrates and products. On the basis of these observations, many investigators suggest that annexins are capable of ...
Another obvious reason for peroxisome motility is that peroxisomes may need to be uniformly dispersed throughout the cytoplasm to protect the cell from toxic substrates that are depleted by peroxisomal metabolism. These may include reactive oxygen species, which are decomposed by peroxisomal enzymes [49...

Detection reagents carry enzymes (usually horseradish peroxidase (HRP)) to the site of the specific epitope by binding to the primary antibody, either directly or indirectly through a secondary-antibody intermediate. When a chromogenic substrate for HRP is introduced, a precipitate is formed that...

Enzymes are extremely specific for substrates. Explain why this is so in terms of events at the active site. What levels of protein structure are involved? Draw structures if necessary. Which of the following organs does not assist in the digesti...
