Protein structure basically depends on the arrangement of different amino acid residues in a three-dimensional way. In general, proteins are macromolecules and have four different levels of structure. What are … Read more
The term structure when used in the relation to proteins, takes on a much more complex meaning than it does for small molecules. Proteins are macromolecules and have four different … Read more
Isoenzymes Definition Isoenzymes or isozymes are different versions of the same enzyme that catalyze the same biochemical reactions. Different alleles of the same gene encode each isozyme for a given … Read more
Metal ions are important factors in cellular metabolism, as they function as enzyme cofactors and thus modulate the activity of enzymes and enzymatic reactions. Although several enzymes have been reported … Read more
Enzyme Inhibition Definition: The decline in the velocity of an enzymatic reaction is called enzyme inhibition. In other words, enzyme inhibition refers to a reduction in enzyme-related processes, enzyme activity, … Read more
Anfinsen’s experiments indicate that the formation of higher-order structures is mainly dependent on the nature and type of amino acids present in the protein’s primary structure. Anfinsen’s experiment in protein … Read more
Complex enzymes are made up of protein and nonprotein components. The protein part of the enzyme is called Apoenzymes or Apozyme. While the non-protein part of the enzyme is called Cofactor. … Read more
Definition of activation energy: Some amount of energy must be put into get the reaction initiated. This energy is required to activate the substances to react. Hence, this energy is … Read more
DNA is a chemical substance that makes genes of all organisms ranging from prokaryotes (bacteria) to higher organisms (humans). Interestingly, the non-living organism such as virus also contains DNA as … Read more
