What is an enzyme that is blocked?
An example of an enzyme that can be blocked is acetylcholinesterase, which helps break down the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Inhibition of this enzyme can lead to increased levels of acetylcholine in the synapse, affecting nerve impulse transmission. This is a mechanism used in medications for conditions such as Alzheimer's disease.
What 3 letters in the enzyme's name tells that it is an enzyme?
The suffix -ase indicates an enzyme, e.g. proteinase, dehydrogenase, hydrogenase, polymerase.
What is cholinesterase?
It's an enzyme that breaks down the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Basically, neurotransmitters are necessary for nerves to transmit impulses and messages throughout the body. Acetylcholine is used specifically to transmit sensory messages. Sometimes, the body produces so much acetylcholine that it becomes an annoyance. In these cases, cholinesterase is responsible for balancing out the production of acetylcholine by destroying it.
What is the storch test?
STORCH appears to be another acronym for TORCH. The TORCH test is a blood test that checks for several different diseases that could potentially be passed from mother to fetus. The test checks for: toxoplasmosis, other infections, rubella, cytomegalovirus (CMV), and herpes simplex virus (HSV). The "other infections" usually include syphilis, hepatitis B, coxsackie virus, Epstein-Barr virus, varicella-zoster virus, and human parvovirus. The Storch test is a test used in the dairy industry to test for the inactivation of the lactoperoxidase enzyme. This enzyme is inactivated at temperatures close to 80°C and it's inactivation is an indicator for over-heating of the milk. Normal pasteurisation is at 72 - 75°C and this would inactivate the alkaline phosphatase enzyme, but not the lactoperoxidase enzyme.
What is anticholinesterase?
An anticholinesterase is an agent which inhibits the activity of cholinesterase.
What is the name of the enzyme used in the ATP-ADP cycle?
The Electron Transport System
What is the name of the enzyme used to produce ATP inoxidation phosphorylation?
Phosphoglycerate kinase in glycolysis
