What are the substrate and product of urate oxydase?
Urate oxidase catalyzes the oxidation of uric acid (a product of purine metabolism) to 5-hydroxyisourate. This enzyme is absent in many primates (including humans).
What monomer makes up enzyme?
amino acids make proteins and an enzyme is a protein so......
Why does tRNA have a T shape?
The shape of tRNA is specifically designed to be able to accept the amino acid according to its anticodon. If tRNA was in any other shape, aminoacyl tRNA synthetase, the enzyme that adds amino acid to tRNA, would not be able to transfer the amino acid to tRNA.
Is DNA an amino acid that encodes protein sequences?
No, DNA is not an amino acid. DNA is a nucleic acid composed of two chains of nucleotides. The sequence of nucleotides encodes for amino acids (almost every triplet of nucleotides encodes for some amino acid). The amino acids in turn build proteins. Please see the related link for more information.
What controls the bonding of specific amino acids to their correct tRNAs in a cell?
It's the enzyme amino-acyl-tRNA. It bonds the correct amino acid to the tRNA based on the anti-codon on the tRNA.
What is an aminoacylase?
An aminoacylase is a hydrolase enzyme which catalyzes the chemical reaction N-acyl-L-amino acid + H2O corresponds to a carboxylate + an L-amino acid.
Suppose that enzyme X catalyzes a reaction that involves the breakdown of a molecule. The product of this reaction is an amino acid. What molecule is the enzyme breaking down?
it might be a protein.. since proteins are polymers of various amino acids..
What is an aspartase?
An aspartase is an enzyme which catalyzes the deamination of aspartic acid to fumaric acid and ammonia.
Which is Enzyme responsible for conversion of stearic acid to oleic acid?
The enzyme which catalyzes the conversion of stearate to oleate is stearoyl-CoA desaturase.
What is an asparaginase?
An asparaginase is an enzyme which catalyzes the hydrolysis of asparagine to aspartic acid, used in chemotherapy.
What is an aldehyde oxidase?
An aldehyde oxidase is an enzyme which catalyzes the oxidation of an aldehyde to a carboxylic acid.
Is lysine an enzyme?
No. Lysine is an amino acid. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins.
Is Enzyme a monomer or polymer?
Enzymes are a type of protein, which are amino acid polymers.
What are the substrate and product of urate oxydase?
Urate oxidase catalyzes the oxidation of uric acid (a product of purine metabolism) to 5-hydroxyisourate. This enzyme is absent in many primates (including humans).
Where does attachment of two amino acid molecules take place?
cytoplasm
What kind of enzyme or digestive juice breaks down proteins to amino acids?
amino acid
What type of mutation in the DNA leads to a single change in the amino acid sequence of the protein?
Yes, it already has by changing the amino acid you have a mutation. That one amino acid counld be in the active site of an enzyme and that one amino acid being changed could result in loss of function or reduction in function of the enzyme. Sickle cell animea is caused by a single such amino acid substiution.
