A multifunctional enzyme is one that has multiple functions. In most cases, enzymes are only activated by a specific substrate or ligand. However, some enzymes have the ability to catalyze a number of different reactions which are not always functionally similar to each other.

∙ 11y agoA multifunctional enzyme is the enzyme which functions in multiple way to synthesize more than one kind of product .It is the single polypeptide with several domains .Example for multifunctional enzyme is protease : during the evolution of enzymes protease function is protein catabolism and generation of amino acids in primitive organisms the time passed these are observed to be the protein demolition enzyme and also these proteases act as sharp scissors and catalyze highly specific reactions of proteolytic processing, producing new protein products ,inaugurated a new era in protease research.

Is a denatured enzyme still functional?
No,they are not
What are the advantages of multi enzyme complexes?
metabolite channeling
Is an enzyme a structural protein or functional protein?
Yes, enzymes are proteins and it is their sequence of amino acids (primary structure) that determines what kind of an enzyme it is and makes all the enzymes unique and it is the tertiary structure of enzymes that maintains their shape and give rise to the unique active site. When an enzyme is denatured, it loses its tertiary structure and therefore its shape.
What is needed to make pyruvate?
Pyruvate is an organic acid and is a ketone functional group. It is made up of glucose, acetyl co enzyme A, alanine, and ethanol.
What is one way that single-celled organisms are different from multi-celled organisms?
One way that single-celled organisms are different from multi-celled organisms is in their complexity. Single-celled organisms consist of just one cell, while multi-celled organisms are made up of multiple cells organized into specialized tissues, organs, and systems. This allows multi-celled organisms to perform more complex functions and have greater structural and functional diversity.
Functional and non functional plasma enzymes?
non functional enzyme
Is a denatured enzyme still functional?
No,they are not
What are the advantages of multi enzyme complexes?
metabolite channeling
Is a medical robot multi functional or not?
yes its a multifunvtional :)
Is the rescue robotic end effector multi-functional?
no
Are there multi functional school tables for preschoolers?
Inquire your local school board to assure there are multi functional tables for preschoolers. Generally there are, so it shouldn't be hard to find one or establish where to get them.
What are diseases that can be caused by the lack of a functional gene for an enzyme?
Tay-Sachs disease
What happens to an enzyme in a reaction?
Its physical shape is unaltered, ready to repeat its functional action.
What is a fast-flusher?
Fast flushers are people who lack a functional enzyme that metabolizes alcohol.
Is a protein an enzyme?
Yes it is. A protein is made from a long string of amino-acids. Proteins come in three specific types: structural, functional, and regulatory. Enzymes reside in the Functional Class of Enzymes.
How a cell you like a cell phone?
Have touch screen, multi-functional, Internet speed .......
