Why are false-negative results usually more common than false-positive results in biochemical and metabolic assays that detect the product of enzymatic reactions? O Positive results require the product being assayed for to be formed in adequate quantities to be observed and this is unlikely to occur spontaneously. O Cultures that do not grow well during the incubation for some reason can test negative due to low product formation even when they do have the enzyme being assayed for All of these Most assays require a reagent to react with a product to produce a color change, and failure to react, perhaps due to bad reagents, will be interpreted as negative.
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.
