What enzyme is inhibited by a nerve agent?

Acetylcholinesterase is the enzyme inhibited by nerve agents. This enzyme is responsible for breaking down the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, and when inhibited, leads to an accumulation of acetylcholine at nerve synapses causing overstimulation of muscles and nerves.


What is a sentence for inhibited?

Inhibiting an enzyme responsible for constructing the cell wall.


Which hormone is inhibited during treatment for BPH?

Alpha-5-reductase is the enzyme that is inhibited in the treatment of BPH. This enzyme is responsible for changing testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (which is stronger).


Why did the enzyme not digest starch at any pH?

Synthesis of a repressible enzyme is inhibited by?

The corepressor-repressor binding to the operator stops the repressible enzyme synthesis. The rate of production of repressible enzyme can be stopped or inhibited if a substance is in high concentration.


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.


What is the significance of the enzyme curve in understanding the catalytic activity of enzymes?

The enzyme curve helps us understand how enzymes work by showing the relationship between enzyme concentration and reaction rate. It helps us determine the optimal conditions for enzyme activity and how enzymes can be inhibited or enhanced.


How is the synthesis of a constitutive enzyme stopped?

The synthesis of a constitutive enzyme is typically regulated at the transcriptional level. When the cell has sufficient levels of the enzyme, transcription is inhibited by regulatory proteins or feedback mechanisms. This helps maintain a balance between enzyme production and cellular needs.


What happens when a protein is inhibited?

When a enzyme is inhibited (many proteins are enzymes), it just means that the enzyme will be reduced in its ability to catalyze a reaction. There are a few types of Inhibition like Competitive Inhibition, Noncompetitive Inhibition, and Irreversible Inhibition.


What happens if an inhibitor is irreversible?

Irreversible inhibition refers to the inactivation of an enzyme by a tightly, typically covalent, bound inhibitor. The kinetics for irreversible inhibition do not follow competitive or non-competitive kinetics.


When does enzyme inhibition occur?

Your body is full of enzymes that do various things for you. They aid in performing chemical reactions. But, if you put something in your body (like a drug or toxin), the enzymes can get messed up and not work. So, enzyme inhibition means that an enzyme is being inhibited (messed up) by something.


What is an enzyme that is blocked?

An example of an enzyme that can be blocked is acetylcholinesterase, which helps break down the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Inhibition of this enzyme can lead to increased levels of acetylcholine in the synapse, affecting nerve impulse transmission. This is a mechanism used in medications for conditions such as Alzheimer's disease.
