Explain the effect if enzymes were inactive during metabolism. How might this be counteracted? What enzyme does yeast contain? What enzyme breaks down hydrogen peroxide? What enzyme can help to catabolize and metabolize lactose? Why are enzymes important to cells?
EVB and DFT modeling of the reaction of α-amylases The predominant enzymatic activity of α-amylases is the hydrolysis of α-1,4 bonds within starch molecules. The catalytic reaction first involves a glycosylation step resulting in covalent enzyme–substrate intermediate, which is subsequently hydro...
Explain how epinephrine and norepinephrine affect plasma glucagon and why is this important during exercise? Why is it so vital for sugar to be transported from the blood vessels to the cells of the body? Briefly describe two cellular reactions that involve ATP hydrolysis. (a) Define amylase. ...
