All enzymes have a unique active site that can fit on to a particular molecular arrangement on a target substrate; a substance e.g. carbohydrate, protein, or fat, that the enzyme is designed to breakdown. There are a number of different enzymes in the human body; each type produced ...
Why are enzymes specific? Why is acetyl-CoA not a gluconeogenic precursor? Why do lipids make effective cell membranes in living cells? Why will external fluid flow into a plant cell? Why is ATP a high energy molecule? Why do red blood cells get denucleated?
Make a drawing or describe an enzyme and substrate, enzyWhy are enzymes so specific?Why do enzymes act only on very specific substrates?Describe two important features that make all enzymes catalysts.Why aren't enzymes used more often for drug synthesis?
Little information has been reported on expression of NAT genes during embryonic and fetal development although substrate specific NAT activity has been detected. The current study investigated the expression of NAT1 and NAT2 in mice pre-and postnatally. RNA was isolated from maternal liver, ...
2'N acetyltransferase, which may inactivate bacterial peptidoglycans is able to inactivate Gentamicin it has a structure similar to the original action of the enzyme substrate. Penicillins and ß-lactams derivatives covalently binds a specific set of bacterial proteins - Penicillin- Binding-Proteins ...
Why are enzymes so specific? Why enzyme action is considered highly specific? Why can't an enzyme that hydrolyzes starch degrade cellulose? Explain why a particular enzyme will only fit with one particular type of substrate. Why is co-enzyme A so unique to our metabolism? What is an ...
molecule. Ubiquitination via the proteome can mark proteins for degradation. It is also important for cellular signaling, the internalization of membrane proteins , and the development and regulation of transcription. Ubiquitin can be removed from proteins by...
coli by hydrolysis to produce a chromogenic substrate (Huang et al., 2000). Hydrolysis of ONPG by intact whole cells was determined using this method. The hydrolysis kinetics were determined spectrophotometrically by measuring the absorbance at 420 nm. Details of the analytical technique are ...
Cells are the basic units of life. Cells must perform chemical reactions to carry out the cell's functions, such as metabolism, movement, reproduction, and protein production.Answer and Explanation: Enzymes are so critical to cell functioning because they catalyze chemical reactions. Enzymes are ...
What is the substrate that catalase reacts with? What is the importance of water for enzyme activity? What is an enzyme and why are enzymes crucial in carrying out chemical reactions in the cell? How do factors such as temperature and pH affects the rate of enzyme activity, such as that ...
