Enzyme Essay Examples

Saliva, exclusively and predominantly excreted in the mouth is hydrous in nature and excreted by diverse salivary organs found in humans and animals. In humans, water being the sole constituent of saliva measures at (99. 5%), with other substances at the remaining 0. 5% (Fejerskov...

The damaging properties of hydrocarbon on natural and cultivated crops are voraciously documented. This research investigated the noxiousness of hydrocarbons on aerobic and anaerobic enzymes in cowpea and maize seedlings. Viable seeds of these food crops were planted in soil treated with different concentrations of...

The putrescine monooxygenase from fresh water/ sea water dwelling Shewanella putrefaciens 95 was investigated with respect to cloning, expression and purification. For the first time it is shown that the Shewanella genus had a gene cluster that produced putrebactin. Putrescine monooxygenase (PMO), Succinyl coA transferase...

Putrescine monoxygenase (PMO) (EC 1.14.13.59) is the initial enzyme in the biosynthesis of putrebactin and it catalyzes the hydroxylation of putrescine to N-hydroxyl putrescine, the precursor for synthesis of a siderophore putrebactin. Although many Flavin monoxygenases genes (FMOs) and N-hydroxylating monoxygenases (NMOs) genes have been...

The experiment was carried out to meet the objective of studying the immobilization techniques and to study the characteristics of the enzyme immobilization by gel entrapment. An immobilized enzyme is an enzyme that is attached to an inert, insoluble material. In general, method of enzyme...

Cold temperature is one of the different stress conditions that can interfere with the equilibrium in the production of oxidants and its scavenging ability by antioxidant enzymes. Thus the survivability or responses of plants under cold temperature can be influenced by duration of the storage....

In their article, Wang (2018) discusses the burst in chemical reactions within the radical S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) superfamily. The inspiration for this discussion came from a substantial increase in the total number of radical SAM sequences and enzymes from ~114, 000 to 255, 000 in November...

The purpose of the investigation was to examine the correlation of enzyme production in response to the evolutionary impact of AMY1 gene copy numbers in individuals. Based upon research obtained in previous studies, there was an assumed positive correlation between gene copy numbers and the...
