The factors that affect enzyme catalysis (that is, enzyme activity) will definitely affect the rate of enzymatic reactions, but the factors that affect the rate of enzymatic reactions do not ...

This article shows how enzymatic activity can be effectively determined by means of the Eppendorf BioSpectrometer. The preliminary measurements were carried out by utilizing the “single λ-continuous” ...

The rate of enzyme reaction can be affected by substrate concentration. As the substrate concentration increases, the enzyme reaction increases until all of the active sites are occupied by the ...

Enzymes are a very important class of biocatalysts. Due to the action of the enzyme, the chemical reaction in the living body can be carried out efficiently and specifically under extremely mild ...

The contribution of enzymes as a biological catalyst in almost all processes occurring in live organisms is significant. Studying the enzyme reactions taking place in a system, individually, is ...

Researchers imagine autonomous nanosized devices sailing through the blood stream, detecting molecular signs of disease or delivering drugs. Such devices will need nanomotors that can drive and steer ...

Externally induced temperature spikes—through the use of laser pulses, for example—can have dramatic effects on enzyme catalysis and protein conformations 13. Thus, pyramine and green fluorescent ...

All metabolic pathways have to be regulated and controlled to stop the build-up of an end product that isn’t needed. The cell can control a metabolic pathway by the presence or absence of a particular ...

In living organisms, there are many chemical reactions taking place. These reactions have many different functions, including breaking down the food we eat and getting energy from the broken down food ...
