Cellular Energetics
Assuming a hypothetical scenario where an accidental gene duplication results in two versions of hexokinase with distinct allosteric sites - one version having higher sensitivity towards glucose-6-phosphate - how will glycolysis regulation likely be impacted?
Which type of biomolecule is an enzyme?
How might a mutation affecting the active site of an enzyme influence the catalytic efficiency in a metabolic pathway?
In light of genetic polymorphisms affecting individual metabolic pathways and individual differences in response to pharmacological treatments, how could genotypically varying expression levels of a particular drug-metabolizing influence efficacy and toxicity of a medication?
In what way can enzymes lower activation energy required for biochemical reactions?
In what way could increasing environmental temperatures up to a point enhance enzyme-catalyzed reactions before eventually leading to decreased reaction rates?
Pepsin is an enzyme that functions optimally at a pH of 2. Where is it found?
