enzyme reaction animation

A large number of chemical reactions will be taking place in a cell. The rate and efficiency with which these reactions go on in a cell, depend on a group of macromolecules called enzymes. Enzymes are thus, biological catalysts. Enzymes are synthes..

Enzymes are the biocatalysts of life. They are defined as biocatalysts synthesized by living cells. They are simple or conjugate protein and specific in action. At present about 300 enzymes are recognized and classified into six classes by International Union of Biochemistry (IU..

Enzymes are generally classified on the basis of the type of reactions that they catalyse. 6 groups of enzymes can be recognised on this basis. The following table lists the 6 groups of enzymes along with exampl..

Enzyme Catalysis - Enzymes are macromolecules, usually proteins, produced in living systems, which act as catalysts in physiological reactions. The striking characteristics of enzymes are their catalytic power and specificity. Enzymes have immense c..

Enzymes in general exhibit the following properties Enzymes are basically proteins. They are globular proteins with a very huge molecular weight. For example, the molecular weight of pyruvic dehydrogenase is 4,600,000! Enzymes can only accelerate a chemical reacti..

Enzymes are generally classified on the basis of the type of reactions that they catalyse. 6 groups of enzymes can be recognised on this basis. The following table lists the 6 groups of enzymes along with example. fig. 14.15 - Classification of Enzymes..

Enzymes control several metabolic pathways and are highly specific in their action. Enzymes like invertase, zymase and maltase are used in manufacture of alcoholic drinks. Some enzymes are used as therapeutic agents. For e.g., streptokinase is used to dissolve ..
