If all the biochemical reactions are catalyzed by the same enzyme, then the chances of fatality due to genetic mutation would be hundred percent.
It is because if only one enzyme would have been there and if it gets mutated then there would be an absolute stop to all the metabolic activities and therefore the cell would die at that time only. Zygote carrying such a mutated enzyme would not survive at all.
On the other hand, which is the present situation, there are many enzymes. If there is a mutation in one enzyme, only that metabolic pathway is affected addressed all the Pathways work normally. In this way, if a person gets a genetic disease, he still survives and shows other metabolic Pathways as a normal person.
Please rate.
It is a fact that enzymes are highly specific and will only catalyze one or a...
Enzymes differ from inorganic catalysts in that they are highly specific. Which property of an enzyme is responsible for this specificity?* The insoluble nature of enzymes. The high molecular mass of enzymes. The surface configuration of enzymes. O The absence of metallic ions in an enzyme.
A) List, in order, the three enzymes that catalyze the highly regulated steps in glycolysis. (Don't just enter 1, 2, 3 for reaction numbers - give the reaction number based on the 10 steps of glycolysis.) Reaction # Enzyme Reaction # Enzyme Reaction # Enzyme B) For each of these reactions, name ONE allosteric regulator of the enzyme and whether that regulator inhibits or activates the enzyme. Reaction # allosteric regulator Inhibitor or activator? Reaction # allosteric regulator Inhibitor or...

1. One enzyme will generally catalyze: a. Does not catalyze any reaction b. Only one unique reaction c. Several different reactions d. many different reactions e. none of the above 2. List three experimental conditions which would affect enzyme activity: (six different conditions were done in lab) 3. enzyme Reaction: ------> Ris called: Q is called: 4. One experimental method that would destroy enzyme activity:
Two enzymes from two different organisms catalyze the oxidation of glucose. Which of the following parameters would you expect to be the same in the two catalyzed reactions? a. ?max b. ?M c. ?eq (equilibrium constant) d. Optimal temperature e. Optimal pH
Briefly: a) Structurally, what kind of compound is an enzyme? b) Enzymes speed up very specific chemical reactions. What feature of the enzyme explains the fact that they only accelerate specific reactions? c) What are two ways that an enzyme be denatured and why do those processes result in the loss of activity of the enzyme? Typed short answer please.

Most enzymes are quite specific, catalyzing a particular reaction on a set of substrates that are structurally quite similar to one another. Discuss why this is advantageous from a biological perspective. Suggest why this is likely to be true from a chemical perspective. That is, why would it be difficult to evolve an enzyme with high catalytic activity but low specificity?
ILDUwn Browser + Webcam Most enzymes can be damaged, or denatured, by high temperature. Enzymes are not consumed in the reactions they catalyze. Question 11 (1 point) Which of the following statements are correct? Tyrosinase is an enzyme that forms hydrogen peroxide, a yellow-brown product. Catalase produces hydrogen peroxide from oxygen and water. If a sample of catalase is boiled we expect that it will not denature. Catalase is an enzyme Tyrosinase is an enzyme that requires oxygen as one...
Part A - Overview of enzyme structure and enzymatic reactions Enzymes are large globular proteins. Much of their three dimensional shape is the result of interactions between the R (variable) groups of their amino acids. The active site is the portion of the enzyme that will interact with the substrate the molecule that the enzyme acts upon. The nature and arrangement of amino acids in the active site make each enzyme specific to a substrate and to the reaction it...
