How does the presence of HCl affect activity of peroxidase?
The optimum pH for activity of Peroxidase is 5-7 that is about neutral. The Hydrochloric acid reduces the pH and thus inactivates the enzyme with reducing pH.
What is the purpose of GUAIACOL?
Guaicol is used as a substrate for peroxidase activity, when we treat it with enzyme the activity of enzyme increases at a higher rate.
Compare the stability of oxidase and peroxidase to heat?
Peroxidase is more stable than oxidase, very heat stable. the heat stability is apparent from the fact that if the enzyme is 83 degrees celsius, half the original activity remains after 32 minutes. peroxidases are known to self-regenerate due to reversible degeneration.
What are molecules that catalyze chemical reactions?
Enzymes
What is inhibition and why enzymes need to be inhibited?
- Inhibition of an enzyme is to inhibit the catalytic activity of the enzyme. - Because, by blocking or inhibiting an enzyme's activity can kill a pathogen or correct a metabolic imbalance. Example : Inhibition of HIV protease.

Why does an enzyme become denatured when heated?
Heat breaks chemical bonds in protein molecule which distorts its structure and catalytic activity .
How is the synthesis of a constitutive enzyme stopped?
by changing their catalytic activity

What is the first key activity in completing an organizations structure?
what is the first key activity in completing an organization's structure
What effect does boiling the material have on peroxidase activity?
The enzyme will be structurally modified and lose its function, which means that it won't catalyse those reactions anymore. Therefore there will be less breaking down of oxygenated water.
What is a structure which directs cellular activity?
The Nucleus
What effects do ACE inhibitors have on the body?
The main benefit of an ACE inhibitor is to reduce blood pressure. It accomplishes this by blocking enzyme activity that causes blood vessels to constrict.
What is the large structure that direct the cell activity?
nucleus
Structure activity relationship of Aspirin?
There are many structure activity relationship studies of Aspirin. Some of them are one to things, while others have found a great deal of knowledge.
Why is the structure of an atom stable?
The structure of all atoms is not necessarily stable. Hence we have radio-activity.
