In this article we will discuss about competitive and non-competitive reversible enzyme inhibition. Competitive Inhibition: The main feature of competitive inhibition is that it can be reversed by increasing the substrate concentration in a reaction mixture which contains both the substrate and the inhibitor. The degree of inhibition depends on the relative concentrations of the substrate and the inhibitor. If [...]
In this article we will discuss about the patterns of carbon and energy metabolism in organisms. Carbon and energy metabolism are intimately associated in all living organisms. On the basis of the ability of organisms to obtain carbon and energy from usable sources, they can be divided into several categories. Considering the energy source first, organisms can be divided into [...]
In this article we will discuss about the molecular structure of nucleic acid with the help of diagrams. Nucleic acids constitute another important group of biological macromolecules present in all types of organisms where they function mainly as store-house of genetic information and as information- transfer molecules. Two types of nucleic acids: i. Ribonucleic acid (RNA) and ii. Deoxyribonucleic acid [...]
