Why is it important to understand how enzymes function? What enzymes serve as catalysts in metabolism? Why do enzymes only work on their specific substrates? Describe the biological basis of enzyme catalysed reactions. Describe two enzymes found ...
Attempts at their direct utilization for the recovery of polluted bodies have been addressed, as well. Moreover, enzymes may be useful for monitoring of polluted sites, before and after restoration treatments. Enzymes present both advantages and disadvantages with respect to other biological catalysts ...
Digestive enzymes are a group of biological protein catalysts that serve to breakdown large macromolecule polymers into their smaller, simpler units in order to enable their absorption in the body. Digestive enzymes are commonly produced in the digestive tracts and serves to aid digestion, as well ...
What are the main functions of enzymes? Enzymes are chemical catalysts in the body. Their main function is to assist in the break down of larger molecules into smaller substances that can be utilized. What do enzymes do? Simply put, enzymes break down larger molecules into smaller molecules. ...
The degradation of lignin by filamentous fungi is a major route for the recycling of photosynthetically fixed carbon, and the oxidative mechanisms employed have potential biotechnological applications. The lignin peroxidases (LiPs), manganese peroxidases (MnPs), and closely related enzymes of white rot ...

Biological sciences: Allosteric Preconditioning: Role of Allosteric Ligands in Promoting the Maturation of Enzymes Abstract THE tertiary structure of an isolated polypeptide chain may differ from its most stable conformation as a component of an oligomer. The assembly of free subunits into an oligomeric...
However, the hydrolytic scission of phosphodiester linkages is an important and common biological process, and can occur rapidly in the presence of appropriate catalysts such as ribozymes and nuclease enzymes. Metals play an important role in this process. Several possible modes of action can be ...
