How do enzymes change as they perform enzymatic reactions? How do enzymes regulate the rate of chemical change? Explain how enzymes help to control metabolism in living organisms. Explain how enzymes help to control metabolism in ...
MetabolismKineticsMathematicsModels, BiologicalA simple theorem is derived relating the extent to which enzymes in a metabolic pathway control the steady-state concentration of metabolites to the kinetic properties of those enzymes. The theorem gives insight into the mechanism by which the concentration ...
Why do we need enzymes to stay alive? How do enzymes help us in our daily lives? Explain how enzymes help to control metabolism in living organisms. Why are enzymes important to biological systems? What general role do enzymes play in life? Explain. ...
Introduction: In this essay, we will be writing about the drug theophylline and its biochemical function at the level of the molecule, how it affects metabolism by inhibiting the functions of enzymes. The essay will similarly look at the uses and adverse effects of the drug in treating specific...
This depends entirely on your metabolism. Some digest and pass alcohol faster while some are slow. In general, breathalyzers can detect alcohol in a person's system 15 minutes after consumption and about 12 to 18 hours later. How do breathalyzers detect alcohol? Since alcohol is a volatile sub...
signaling pathway involving mTOR and AKT. The mTOR signaling pathway intervenes in the conversion of amino acids into proteins, while, importantly, the AKT signaling pathway regulates the expression of GLUTs and phosphofructokinase enzymes in immature SCs117,118to support their metabolism and ...
Membraneless, cytoplasmic ribonucleoprotein cell compartments enriched in enzymes involved in mRNA turnover and translationally repressed mRNA. Phase separation A process in biology in which a well-mixed solution of molecules separates (demixes) into two coexisting phases, with one phase being denser (hi...
Once broken down, their building blocks are then exported to the cytosol where they can be reused as nutrients in cellular metabolism. Impairment of lysosomes to execute this process has many effects that could cause disease as well as death. Lysosomes are able to digest macromolecules using four...
Interestingly, the metabolism of dietary arginine by the microbiome may have effects on the immune system beyond the actual polyamine products. Arginine itself is an important modulator of the immunometabolism of macrophages and T cells and thus affects their effector functions (O’Neill et al., 201...
Cancer metabolism has received a substantial amount of interest over the past decade. The advances in analytical tools have, along with the rapid progress of cancer genomics, generated an increasingly complex understanding of metabolic reprogramming in cancer. As numerous connections between oncogenic sign...
