There are numerous examples in the literature of promiscuous enzymes, including members of the short-chain dehydrogenase/reductase family that bind similar substrates and generate alternative ...

For example, conformational changes in enzymes may be crucial for optimal function and may result from subtle movements, such as the rotation of a peptide bond; from large scale fluctuations ...

For example, in liver cells the toxic chemical ... Liver cells produce the enzyme catalase to speed up the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide. Enzymes can speed up the break down of complex molecules ...

The film explains how enzymes work, using the example of food digestion, where different enzymes break down carbohydrates and proteins. It highlights the importance of enzymes in processes like ...

Examples of some such functions include how enzymes help the body get rid of toxins, how they break down food into units of energy and how they grow new cells and tissue. Enzymes also help with ...
