Chapter 20, Problem 20.49E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The specific enzyme assays which are particularly useful in diagnosing liver damage or disease are to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Two or more enzymes having identical functions but different structures are known as isoenzymes. The isoenzymes are only differing in amino acids sequence but they catalyze the same chemical reaction. For example, lactate dehydrogenase $\left(\text{LDH}\right)$ and creatine $\left(\text{CK}\right)$ kinase.
