The upcoming discussion will update you about the difference between constitutive enzymes and inductive enzymes. The enzymes which are always present in the organism in constant amounts regardless of its metabolic state are called as constitutive enzymes. For example, the enzymes involved in central pathway of catabolism such as glycolysis are constitutive enzymes. Sometimes, the en­zymes appear in cells only [...]

The below mentioned article highlights the major functions of isoenzymes in plants. Some enzymes occur in multiple or more than one form in the same species, tissue or even in the same cell which catalyse the same biochemical reaction but have different molecular structure and kinetic properties. They are generally made up of similar or dissimilar sub-units (polypeptide chains) in [...]
