Question
Chapter 19, Problem 19.70AP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The definition for zymogen and the reason why some enzyme is secreted as zymogen should be determined.
Concept introduction:
Enzyme:
- It is a protein or a molecule which can act as a catalyst for a biological reaction.
- Does not affect the equilibrium point of the reaction.
- Active site of the enzyme is the region where the reaction takes place.
- Enzyme’s activity can be specific which means the activity is limited to a certain substrate and a certain type of reaction and it is referred to as specificity of the enzyme.
Enzyme regulation:
Some enzymes can destroy the organ in which they are produced and they are often synthesized as proenzymes or zymogens.
