Introduction to Enzymes Enzymes are the specialized proteins that catalyze the biochemical reactions. Almost every reaction that takes place in a cell requires the action of enzyme for its completion. Commonly enzymes are proteins but there are some exceptions like […]

General Chemical Test For Alkaloids :- i. Mayer’s reagent test (K+ mercuric iodide solution) →Cream colored ppt ii. Dragendroff’s reagent (K+ bismuth iodide solution)→ Red brown ppt iii. Wagner’s reagent (iodine K+ iodide solution )→ Red brown ppt iv. Hager’s […]
Formation of enzyme substrate complex is considered as the first step of enzyme catalysis. Substrate binds to the active site of the enzyme through various non-covalent interaction and thus forms ES complex. The ES complex then further is converted to […]
Diagnostic uses of enzymes Enzymes are known as marker of cellular damage. The amount of enzymes present in the plasma is used for the investigation of the diseases of liver, heart, skeletal muscle, biliary tract etc. Classification of diagnostically important […]
During the transport of electrons through the ETC, a portion of energy liberated is conserved. The energy is conserved by the energy transducing system by which electrical energy is converted to chemical energy. Since the energy is conserved in the […]
