The following points highlight the four main types of enzymes. The types are: 1. Lactate Dehydrogenases 2. Transaminases 3. Creatine Kinase (CK or CPK) 4. Carbonic Anhydrase. Enzyme: Type # 1. Lactate Dehydrogenases: It is a glycolytic enzyme involved in the conversion of lactic acid to pyruvic acid and vice versa by the help of the coenzyme NAD. It exists [...]
Learn about:- 1. Meaning of Feedback Inhibition 2. Control of Enzyme Synthesis –Induction 3. Control of Enzyme Synthesis -Repression and De-repression. Meaning of Feedback Inhibition: The changes in the concentration of substrates, coenzymes, activators or inhibitors affect the catalytic efficiency of an enzyme. Feedback inhibition inhibits the activity of an enzyme early in the biosynthetic pathway. In the biosynthetic reaction, [...]
The below mentioned article provides a short note on Coenzymes:- 1. Meaning of Coenzymes 2. Classification of Coenzymes 3. Coenzyme A (CoA). Meaning of Coenzymes: Many reactions of substrates are catalyzed by enzymes only in the presence of a specific non-protein organic molecule called the coenzyme. Coenzymes combine with the apoenzyme (the protein part) to form holoenzyme. The coenzymes are [...]
