In this article we will discuss about the structure of enzymes. This will also help you to draw the structure and diagram of enzymes. Enzymes are proteins, having primary, secondary, tertiary and in certain cases, even quaternary structures. Sometimes, this protein part (or apoenzyme) is not sufficient for catalytic action which then requires the presence of a co-factor. I. Polypeptide [...]
The global production of enzyme reached more than $US 1.8 billion per annum. Although contribution of plant biotechnology in enzyme production is meagre but there is every potential to increase in large scale. The first commercially produced enzymes in plants are avidin and β-glucoronidase. They were produced in transgenic maize. Following success, production of several of these industrially important enzymes [...]
The synthesis of enzymes - or more generally, the synthesis of proteins — implies the incorporation of amino acids in an order dictated by the genetic information. Control of the Expression of Genes at the Level of Transcription: In addition to the adaptation mechanisms operating in the cells in response to changes in environmental conditions, cellular differentiation and development imply [...]
