Enzymes are biological catalysts. The main feature of enzymes is that they have biologically active proteins that can accelerate chemical reactions in cells, but they will not alter the reactions.

An enzyme inhibitor is a molecule that binds to an enzyme and prevents it from catalysing a reaction. In this article we will look at two types of enzyme inhibition - competitive and non-competitive inhibition.

The first structure of a lipin enzyme, which carries out an important step in the production of triglycerides, the main reservoir for long-term energy storage, will help scientists to better understand how lipins regulate the production of triglycerides. Led by Mike Airola, Ph.D., of the Department of Biochemistry and Cell Biology in the College of Arts and Sciences and Renaissance School of Medicine at Stony Brook University, the structure also provides scientists with insights as to why…

Summary Enzymes describe a class of proteins that are biological catalysts. That is, they accelerate biological reactions without being used up during the reaction. Enzymes are essential for almost all biochemical reactions in living organisms, and they act by lowering the activation energy required for the reaction to proceed. Enzymes are essential because without them, ... Read article →

Enzymes are the main group of biological substances required for the proper functioning of cells. They work as a catalyst and perform specific biochemical reactions in living cells. Enzymes were discovered in 1877 by Wilhelm Friedrich Kühne a professor of physiology at the University of Heidelberg. He coined the term enzyme for such biological substances. To date, 10,000 enzymes have been discovered by scientists. Diagram of enzyme and substrate created in BioRender.comCharacteristics of en
