Advances in Enzymology

Enzymes are biological catalysts that are required for the sustenance of life. Nearly all metabolic processes occurring in the cell require enzyme catalysis for sustaining life. Enzymes are generally proteins, although some are catalytic RNA molecules. The difference between enzymes and any other catalysts is their high degree of specificity. Such specificity arises from their unique 3D structures. The activity of enzymes can be affected by other molecules. There are some therapeutic drugs ...
