The Commercial Trainee Program of the Pharma Biotec Industry, opened selection to admit candidates who would help in the development of a more efficient production protocol of Ibuprofen, a non-colloidal anti-inflammatory. Basically, the challenge stimulated obtaining high enantiomeric purity of the final product. In this way, the candidates proposed the use of immobilized enzymes for the process. Tick the most coherent alternative to justify the choice of using immobilized enzymes by the candidates for the case mentioned above in the question. (Only one statement is true)* A)The use of immobilized enzymes was an interesting strategy, since different immobilization techniques can be used, such as adsorption and covalent. b) The use of immobilized enzymes was consistent since the immobilization process can further favor the regioselectivity , enantioselectivity and stereoselectivity properties of the enzymes, which will favor the enantiomeric purity of the drug. c) The use of immobilized enzymes is interesting because the biocatalyst can be reused. d) The use of immobilized enzymes is preferred to the use of immobilized cells due to the low cost of the selected supports. e) The use of immobilized enzymes favors the protein conformation of the protein within the support, favoring high drug conversion. f) The use of immobilized enzymes helps in the economy of the
Enzyme kinetics
In biochemistry, enzymes are proteins that act as biological catalysts. Catalysis is the addition of a catalyst to a chemical reaction to speed up the pace of the reaction. Catalysis can be categorized as either homogeneous or heterogeneous, depending on whether the catalysts are distributed in the same phase as that of the reactants. Enzymes are an essential part of the cell because, without them, many organic processes would slow down and thus will affect the processes that are important for cell survival and sustenance.
Regulation of Enzymes
A substance that acts as a catalyst to regulate the reaction rate in the living organism's metabolic pathways without itself getting altered is an enzyme. Most of the biological reactions and metabolic pathways in the living systems are carried out by enzymes. They are specific for their works and work in particular conditions. It maintains the best possible rate of reaction in the most stable state. The enzymes have distinct properties as they can proceed with the reaction in any direction, their particular binding sites, pH specificity, temperature specificity required in very few amounts.
