How do enzymes weaken the bonds in substrates?Chemical Catalysis:Chemical catalysts are substances that speed up the rate of reaction. They do this without participating in the overall reaction and they do not change the position of the equilibrium. Catalysts act in a variety of different ways....
Sign Up Subjects Science Why do enzymes have different optimal pH?Question:Why do enzymes have different optimal pH?Optimal pH for EnzymesEnzyme activity can be affected by ambient conditions such as temperature, pH, or substrate concentration. Most enzymes have an optimal pH of 6 to 8, in...
Since selenoenzymes may play a role in protecting muscle from oxidative damage, it is pertinent to examine serum levels of selenium as well. One cross-sectional study looked at the association between serum selenium and hand-grip strength in 676 women in the Women’s Health and Aging Study I...

If the two mutations affect different enzymes, the conclusion depends on the way that fitness is determined by aspects of the pathway. The cases analyzed are: selection for (1) maximal flux, (2) maximal equilibrium concentration (pool size) of an intermediate, (3) optimal flux, (4) optimal...
We will start with a summary of our understanding of the structural organization and enzymatic activities of SF1 helicases which is based on the analysis of few cellular enzymes. In our comparative analysis we will frequently refer to SF1 helicases of the alphavirus-like supergroup, the only ...
The Copper IUD, as a non-hormonal method, works by producing a foreign body reaction. It can also affect endometrial enzymes, and copper has a direct toxic effect on sperm and ova. It’s primary mechanism of action is the prevention of fertilisation. However, it can be used as an emergen...

Other virulence factors, such as quorum sensing, biofilms, endoglucanase, cell-wall-degrading enzymes, and transcription factors, are necessary for successful colonization and infection of host tissue [71,72,73]. The T3SS is associated with the water-soaked formation during the wilt phase, while ...
