Enzymes 3d structure enzymes are proteins and their activities depends on the 3d structure of the amino acids that compose them note. Stereochemical specificity the enzyme will act on a particular steric or optical isomer.

Enzyme is isocitrate dehydrogensae oxidation decarboxylation removal of hydrogen is oxidation. The section on specificity of enzymes explains five different types of specificity namely absolute substrate specificity, broad specificity group. In this type the enzyme acts on substrates that are similar. Sensitivity and specificity of aacas12bmediated dna detection. In this type the enzyme acts on substrates that are similar in structure and contain the same type of bonds e. Enzymes have amazing catalytic power and their high level of. The pdf file will be opened in a new window in the browser itself.

The specificity of enzymes since the substrate must fit into the active site of the enzyme before catalysis can occur, only properly designed molecules can serve as substrates for a specific enzyme. Group specificity the enzyme will act only on molecules that have specific functional groups, such as amino, phosphate and methyl groups.

Other enzymes will be specific for a particular type of chemical bond or functional group. As to substrate specificity, some enzymes exhibit very broad substrate specificity, e. O in some rare cases, the specificity may not be too strong. The molecules upon which enzymes may act are called substrates, and the enzyme converts the substrates into different molecules known as products.
