V -type enzymes are named for their often remarkable changes in V max when they are allosterically activated. However, these enzymes also generally have a comparable change in their affinity for the substrate. When such enzymes are in a normal metabolic pathway, changes in the maximum activity ...
Enzymes bind their reactants or substrates at special folds and clefts, named active sites, in the structure of the substrate. Because numerous interactions are required in their work of catalysis, enzymes must have many active sites, and therefore they are very large, having atomic mass figures...
Find out how these biological catalysts work, where they're made, how they're used and their benefits for the environment, industries and agriculture.
4. Allosteric regulation always results in a change in the enzyme's affinity for its substrate. Even V-type enzymes (named for their large change in catalytic velocity) always have a corresponding change in affinity for their substrate. Thomas Traut has a PhD in molecular biology, and has ...

Enzymes are usually named after the substrates they act on. However, the suffix-aseis added to the name to signify that it refers specifically to the enzyme. For instance, enzymes that digest lipids in the gut are termed lipases. Here are a few examples of common enzymes and their ...
Restriction enzymes are named after the source microorganism that they are extracted from. Specifically, the name includes the genus, species, strain abbreviation and order of discovery in that strain. The order is denoted as a Roman numeral. For example, the enzyme EcoRI is used since it has...
Restriction enzymes are a basic tool in the molecular biologist’s arsenal. They’re super easy to use, and virtually essential for cloning and other applications. Restriction enzymes are also a great example of a perfect “tool” from nature that scientists have co-opted for their own use. ...
The antiretroviral human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) drugs (Table2) are of considerable interest for DDIs in research and therapy for two main reasons. First, the group contains two drugs (ritonavir and cobicistat) that are mainly used as pharmacokinetic enhancers, “boosters”, due to their str...
