Biological Oxidation, Electron Transfer chain And Oxidative Phosphorylation Introduction Chemically, oxidation is defined as the removal of electrons and reduction as the gain of electrons. Thus, oxidation is …
Muscle Enzymes Clinically important muscle enzymes include creatine kinase and lactate dehydrogenase. Creatine Kinase Creatine kinase (CK) is most abundant in cells of brain, cardiac and skeletal. In addition …
Liver Enzymes The assay of serum enzymes is very useful for the differential diagnosis and monitoring of various liver disorders. Liver enzymes acts as marker of hepatocellular damage, cholestasis …
Clinical Significance Of Enzymes The measurement of enzymes level in serum is applied in diagnostic application. Detection of certain enzymes in the serum indicates that tissue or cellular …
Iso-Enzymes Iso-enzymes are physically distinct forms of the same enzyme activity. Higher organisms have several physically distinct versions of a given enzyme, each of which catalyzes …
Presence of activators Presence of certain inorganic ions increases the activity of enzymes. The best examples are chloride ions activated salivary amylase and calcium activated lipases. Effect of …
Effect of pH Like temperature, all enzymes have a optimum pH, at which the enzymatic activity will be at maximum. Many enzymes are most efficient in the region of …
Effect of temperature Velocity of enzymatic reaction increases with temperature of the medium which they are most efficient and the same is termed as optimum temperature. As temperatures increases …
