Ex.
Polio virus attacks nerve cells
Mumps virus attacks salivary glands
Hepatitis virus attacks liver cells

What are the different types of enzyme specificity with examples?
1) absolute specificity 2) Group specificity 3) Linkage specificity 4) Stereochemical specificity
What is most important for attachment of a virus to a host cell?
While we are constantly referring to bi-lateral specificity, as in the functions of Dna, here is a case where a virus offers out it's 'hand': it seems likely that it expects to reach for, find and attach to some outstretched Cell Membrane Component.
What causes enzyme specificity?
The enzyme's surface folds are complementary to the substrate's surface folds.
What is response specificity?
making antibodies
What would be unlikely to contribute to the substrate specificity of an enzyme?
The allosteric site is distinct from the active site, and does not affect the substrate specificity of the enzyme

What is difference between specificity and selectivity in hplc method validation?
specificity and selectivity
What does specificity encourage you to do?
Specificity encourages us to pay more attention to details. Both in describing these details and studying them. The root word of specificity is specific.
Which team is defined as part of a resistance training program that refers to the body's adaptation to training?
specificity
Does the shape of an enzyme protein determine specificity?
Shape of an enzyme specifically shape of its active site determines enzyme specificity .
What causes enzyme specificity?
The enzyme's surface folds are complementary to the substrate's surface folds.
What is specificity theory?
In specificity theory, each neuron would be tuned to fire for one colorProblems include distribution of color receptors, and the absolute number of colors we can perceive. Also, specificity theory does not account for different intensities
What is response specificity?
making antibodies
