Chapter 21, Problem 70P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The difference between a dehydrogenase and dehydrase should be determined.

Concept introduction:

Enzymes are those biological molecules which increase the rate of a chemical reaction that take place in all living organisms. They increase rate of the reaction by themselves remain unchanged in the process. They increase rate of reaction at about ${10}^6$ to ${10}^{12}$ times faster than uncatalyzed reactions. Enzyme catalyzed the reaction at pH around 7.4 and temperature $37°\text{C}$.
