Isolation of any organelle requires a reliable test for the presence of the organelle. Typically, this is done by following the activity of an enzyme that is known to be localized exclusively in the target organelle. Such enzymes are known as marker enzymes. For example, the enzyme acid phosphatase (that cleaves terminal phosphate group from substrates and has a pH optimum in the
acidic range) is localized in lysosomes, while the enzyme succinate dehydrogenase is localized in mitochondria. By monitoring where each enzyme activity is found during a cell fractionationprotocol, one can monitor the fractionation of lysosomes and mitochondria, respectively.
Marker enzymes also provide information on the biochemical purity of the fractionated organelles. The presence of unwanted marker enzyme activity in the preparation indicates the level
of contamination by other organelles, while the degree of enrichment for the desired organelle is determined by the specific activity of the target marker enzyme. Although marker enzymes reveal much concerning the purity of the organelle preparation, electron microscopy is generally used as a
final step to assess the preparation's purity and the morphology of the isolated organelle.

Is adenine an enzyme?
No. It is not. Have a good day.
What is found in allosteric enzymatic regulation?
An allosteric enzyme is one in which the activity of the enzyme can be controlled by the biniding of a molecule to the "allosteric site". This really just means somewhere other than the active site. Thus allosteric control of an enzyme can be classed in two ways. A positive allosteric modification is the binding of a molecule to the enzyme which increase the rate of reaction. Sort of like catalysing the catalysing effect of an enzyme. Obviously the opposite is true of negative allosteric modification. A good example for this is the activity of phosphofructokinase, which is promoted by a high AMP concentration, and inhibited by a high ATP concentration. This should make sense if you think about the action of a kinase etc.
Which component of a DNA synthesis reaction determines the exact nucleotide sequence of the product?
DNA polymerase. If it ends in -ase, odds are good that it's an enzyme.
You understand that the normal muscle enzyme level is about 200 your level is between 17000 and 22000 is this good or bad?
I have no idea what "muscle enzyme" levels you're talking about, but if your levels are around 100 times the normal range, I'd think their would be something wrong. The doctor who arranged for the blood test should be able to explain everything.
Why is an enzyme considered a catalyst?
An enzyme is referred to as a catalyst as it sets off the digestive process beginning with amylase in the mouth which is produced by the salivary glands (...and followed by all the other enzymes that are mixed with the food along the alimentary canal)
Is the G3 a good marker?
I hope you choose the G3 marker. Its great.
Is enzyme good or bad?
good
What are the applications of chemotaxonomy?
Applications of chemotaxonomy include separation of higher systemic categories, and related genera having similar enzyme system producing analogous metabolites. It also includes complex metabolic products are good chemotaxonomic marker.
How do you get permanent marker off a white binder?
hHir spray works good on any surface with permanent marker on it.
The substance acted upon by an enzyme is called its?
A substrate is the substance acted upon by an enzyme. The enzyme substrate complex is when an enzyme molecule combines with its substrates.
What is a food source of the enzyme catalase?
Carrots, patatoes, and liver are good sources of enzyme catalase
What are good upgrades for the kingman spyder imagine select marker?
The imagine is too cheap of a marker to spend much on upgrades for, however a new barrel is always a good choice.
Is sw1 paintball gun a good gun?
It will preform the same as the bt4 and the tippmann 98. It is a beginner marker, so compared to the entire market it is not "good" I is however an excellent starter marker.
What is a marker on a paintball gun?
Ok, considering the last person didn't give you a good answer, here's mine. The paintball "marker" is the proper term for the gun. It's called a marker because it "marks" what it shoots.
Is adenine an enzyme?
No. It is not. Have a good day.
What pro marker colors blend good together?
Blue and Orange
Is a jt staelth paintball marker good?
It is a decent marker, from a neutral standpoint. The price is pretty low, and it is a pretty tough marker. The only problem is that JT doesnt really produce it often, and aftermarket upgrades are rare.
