Why enzyme action is considered highly specific? What is the role of enzymes as a catalyst? Why are enzymes secreted in an inactive form? Explain how an enzyme speeds up a reaction as a catalyst. Enzymes are catalysts because they operate to ___. Why...
living organisms.Enzymeare used to speed up chemical reactions (LabManual 3 pg. 1). Through this process‚ they are considered very unique because they are not altered or consumed within the reaction (LabManual 3 pg. 1). This is whyenzymesare considered biological catalysts. They also do ...
Enzymes are natural catalysts that facilitate the majority of chemical reactions in biological systems by enhancing the rate of reactions. Enzymes have been used to enhance the shelf-life of foods and beverages since ancient times. Still, their demand is constantly increasing in the food industry. ...
DNA catalysts capable of supporting various reactivities have been found.;All deoxyribozymes can be classified as metalloenzymes because they require metal ion cofactors, usually at millimolar concentrations. For example, DNA catalysts for single-stranded DNA hydrolysis, previously identified in the ...

Find out how these biological catalysts work, where they're made, how they're used and their benefits for the environment, industries and agriculture.
we only considered small molecules included among the experimentally confirmed enzyme-substrate pairs in our dataset. Among such a limited and biased subset, enzymes are quite specific catalysts, and therefore most of the potential secondary substrates are not included for the majority of enzymes. Thus...
Enzymes are used as catalysts in a wide range of biotechnology-based processes. They achieve high selectivity, work under mild conditions and are environmentally friendly. However, enzymes often lack the necessary sta- bility under process conditions, thus limiting their applications1. This issue can...
Evaluation of the methylerythritol phosphate pathway enzymes is further complicated because they utilize unstable substrates, not always commercialized. Additionally, the substrates are quickly metabolized by enzymes involved in other pathways, for the most part in sugar metabolism (e.g. pyruvate or ...
Among these precursors, enzymes constitute certainly an interesting group, because most of them are mainly globular and characterized by a fine specific internal structure closely related to their catalytic properties and also because they are yet little considered as potential HDP releasing proteins. In...
