Isomerase
An aldolase is an enzyme, present in some tissues, which catalyzes the conversion of phosphates of fructose to those of glyceraldehyde and dihydroxyacetone.
Dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) is an important intermediate in glycolysis and gluconeogenesis. It is produced from fructose-1,6-bisphosphate and can be isomerized to glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate by the enzyme triose phosphate isomerase. DHAP is also involved in lipid synthesis and can be converted into glycerol-3-phosphate, which is a precursor for triglyceride formation. Overall, DHAP plays a crucial role in carbohydrate metabolism and energy production.
Glucose is converted to fructose by the glucose isomerase enzyme
substrate
After the enzyme has converted the substrate to the product, it is now free to accept more substrate. The enzyme does not get changed or altered in a reaction.
The substrates are converted into products, which are released.
Glucose is the substrate that is converted into glucose 6-phosphate by the enzyme hexokinase. Hexokinase catalyzes the phosphorylation of glucose to glucose 6-phosphate in the first step of glycolysis.
It is digested in the salivary glands and pancreas by the enzyme amylase. Converted into disaccharides.
The substances that are released after an enzyme reaction takes place are known as products. During the enzymatic reaction, substrates are converted into these products through the enzyme's catalytic action. The enzyme itself remains unchanged and can participate in further reactions.
methanol gets converted to formaldehyde in the liver by an enzyme called alcohol dehydrogenase. This is an oxidative reaction requiring the cofactor NAD+ which gets converted (reduced) to NADH. The reaction can also occur without alcohol dehydrogenase in microsome of a cell. In this case cytochrome P4502E1 is the enzyme and the redox agent is NADPH which gets converted (oxidized) to NADP.
The enzyme activity depends on the conditions of the reaction and the enzmye used. The term enzyme activity refers to the rate at which substrate is converted into product and can be measured in many different ways.
No, glycolysis is a process where the glucose is converted to pyruvic acid, releasing 2 net ATP molecules.
