Best Answer

Two main ways: synthesis and degradation.

Each step in the process leading to synthesis of the enzyme can be regulated - gene expression, mRNA processing and stability, mRNA translation.

Why can one small error in DNA lead HUGE problems?

DNA errors are very dangerous because one small change in DNA can alter the cell's intention. For example, if a cell needs a certain enzyme to preform a function, this change may code for a completely different enzyme . This enzyme, if not needed, can potentially harm the cell. Even the smallest change in the cell can destroy the cell from the inside out. Hope this helps!

Any reaction can be sped up by a catalyst, if it's a catalyst found in the body, then it's an enzyme


What would happen if most biochemical reactions are catalyzed by the same enzyme?

If an enzyme produces too much of one substance in the organism, that substance may act as an inhibitor for the enzyme at the beginning of the pathway that produces it, causing production of the substance to slow down or stop when there is sufficient amount.

The boiling point is a physical property of the liquid that is independent on the liquid amount, It may vary with the pressure on the liquid or vary with due to any additives dissolved in the liquid.

What blocks enzyme activity by binding to the active site of an enzyme?

Competitive inhibitors reduce enzyme activity by binding (in competition with the enzyme's substrate) to the active site. These inhibitors may be reversible or irreversible. With reversible inhibitors, which may release the enzyme, concentrations much higher than the concentration of the substrate would be required to completely block enzyme activity, and even then one or two reactions may take place over long periods of time. With irreversible inhibitors, which permanently attach to the enzyme, enzyme activity could be completely blocked when the amount of inhibitor matches the amount of enzyme. Competitive inhibition reduces the enzymes ability to bind substrate (so it lowers the KM) but does not alter the maximum rate (very high substrate concentrations would out compete for enzyme binding).Other types of inhibitors work in other ways. Non-competitive inhibitors bind to the enzyme on a site other than the active site. These too may be reversible or irreversible. Binding does not compete with substrate, so concentrations to completely block enzyme activity do not have to be as high as reversible competitive inhibitors. Non-competitive inhibition reduces the apparent maximum rate for the enzyme.Uncompetitive inhibitors bind only when the substrate is also bound to the enzyme (they bind to the enzyme-substrate complex). Both the maximum rate and substrate binding affinities appear lower.
