The factors that affect enzyme catalysis (that is, enzyme activity) will definitely affect the rate of enzymatic reactions, but the factors that affect the rate of enzymatic reactions do not ...

Measuring Enzyme Kinetic Parameters with the ITC Universal Enzyme Assay Method Enzymes are important in drug discovery and development since they constitute approximately one-half of all known drug ...

Enzyme kinetics involves the measurement of the rate at which chemical reactions that are catalyzed by enzymes occur. Knowledge about the kinetics of an enzyme can reveal useful information about its ...

Externally induced temperature spikes—through the use of laser pulses, for example—can have dramatic effects on enzyme catalysis and protein conformations 13. Thus, pyramine and green fluorescent ...

Introduction Have you ever wondered how all the food that you eat gets digested? It is not only the acid in your stomach that breaks down your food—many little molecules in your body, called enzymes, ...

All forms of life depend on enzymes—without them most biochemical reactions would proceed too slowly to sustain the processes of life. Enzymes function by binding to a compound known as a substrate.
