In this article we will discuss about:- 1. Definition of Enzymes 2. Mechanism of Enzyme Action 3. Enzyme Kinetics 4. Allosteric Enzymes 5. Classification 6. Components. Definition of Enzymes: Enzymes are highly specialized proteins which act as catalyst of biological system. Louis Pasteur was the first to recognize the importance of enzymes while studying the fermentation process and denoted it [...]
In this article we will discuss about the properties and mechanisms of action of allosteric enzymes. Properties of Allosteric Enzymes: Allosteric or Regulatory enzymes have multiple subunits (Quaternary Structure) and multiple active sites. Allosteric enzymes have active and inactive shapes differing in 3D structure. Allosteric enzymes often have multiple inhibitor or activator binding sites involved in switching between active and [...]
