Chapter 21.9, Problem 21.22P

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The reaction or process that is catalyzed by aspartate transaminase enzyme should be determined.

Concept Introduction:

The enzymes are considered as the catalyst for the biochemical reaction. They involve in the biochemical reactions to speed them up but again regenerate at the end of the reaction or process. The Lock and Key model was purposed to explain the reactivity of enzymes. It states that each enzyme has certain active sites that can only allow the bonding of certain subtract molecules. An enzyme is very specific for the substance, pH, and temperature of the surroundings.
