How cell may vary the amount of enzyme?

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.


What does enzyme dpd do in the body?

DPD is the rate limiting enzyme involved in the catabolism of pyrimidines like thymidine and uracil. DPD is also the main enzyme involved in the degradation of structurally related compounds like 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU), a widely used anticancer drug.


Why when adding catalase to sucrose not makes it bubble?

Catalase is an enzyme that is substrate-specific, meaning that it has a particular reaction that it will catalyze (to speed up a reaction). Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is the specific substrate reactant with which catalase will react (in a degradation reaction). This is the degradation (breaking down of) reaction. 2H2O2 yields 2H2O+O2 O2 is oxygen which is indicated by the rising of bubbles upon reaction between the hydrogen peroxide and the catalase. Sucrose is not the specific substrate assigned to the catalase enzyme, therefore they will not react together in a degradation reaction, hence the lack of oxygen release (lack of bubbles). I hope this was helpful to you. God bless and Jesus loves you.


How are neurotransmitters broken down in the synaptic cleft?

most neurotransmitters are not actually broken down, rather they are actively transported back into their pre release vesicles (this is called reuptake). Some neurotransmitters are broken down by a specific enzyme into non active parts i.e acetylcholine broken down by acetylcholinestarase


What can you do to regain the activity of the enzyme?

The enzyme is inactive at this point. New enzyme must be added to regain enzyme activity

What is a degradation?

A degradation reaction breaks down a large molecule into smaller molecules. For example, the enzyme catalase breaks down Hydrogen Peroxide into Oxygen and Water.


What happens when enzyme reaches optimal temperature?

The optimal function of the enzyme is impeded and if the temperature rises too high the enzyme, mostly protein, will degrade and become useless.

Does Sertraline contain a MAO inhibitor?

No, Prozac (or fluoxetine) is a SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor) and there is no effect on the monoamine oxidase enzyme.


Is or are Protista digested By The Enzyme Protease?

No. The enzyme protease breaks or digests proteins into [the constituent] amino acids; so, typically, Protista has It's proteins well protected from Protease degradation.


Which enzyme converts fibrin to fibrin degradation products?

Conversion of fibrinogen into fibrin is important in blood clotting and preventing further blood loss. The enzyme responsible for the conversion process is thrombin.


What will happen if you add some amylase to a starch solution and test it after 5 minutes?

Amylase is an enzyme and contribute to the degradation of starch in simple sugars.
