In this article we will discuss about the similarities and dissimilarities between inorganic catalysts and enzymes. Similarities between Inorganic Catalysts and Enzymes: 1. Inorganic catalysts and enzymes remain unchanged after reaction, chemically and quantitatively and can be used over and over again. 2. Both are required in minute quantities compared to the substrate. 3. They do not alter the equilibrium [...]
The following points highlight the three main reactions involved in the synthesis of fatty acids. The reactions are: 1. Initiation Reaction 2. Chain Elongation Reactions 3. Termination Reaction. 1. Initiation Reaction: In this reaction, acetyl CoA transfers its acetyl group to one of the —SH groups of multienzyme complex, i.e., fatty acid synthetase. 2. Chain Elongation Reactions: Six different reactions [...]
