Pectinase enzymes used today are naturally produced by fungi and yeasts (50%), insects, bacteria and microbes (35%) and various plants (15%), [4] but cannot be synthesized by animal or human cells. [5] In plants, pectinase enzymes hydrolyze pectin that is found in the cell wall, allowing for new growth and changes to be made.
NADP-malic enzyme is one of three decarboxylation enzymes used in the inorganic carbon concentrating mechanisms of C4 and CAM plants. The others are NAD-malic enzyme and PEP carboxykinase. [2] [3] Although often one of the three photosynthetic decarboxylases predominate, the simultaneous operation of all three is also shown to exist. [4]
The structural site has been shown to be important for maintaining the long term stability of the enzyme. [13] More than 40 severe class I mutations involve mutations near the structural site, thus affecting the long term stability of these enzymes in the body, ultimately resulting in G6PD deficiency. [13]
This list contains a list of sub-classes for the seventh group of Enzyme Commission numbers, EC 7, translocases, placed in numerical order as determined by the Nomenclature Committee of the International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology.
Because a phosphatase enzyme catalyzes the hydrolysis of its substrate, it is a subcategory of hydrolases. [1] Phosphatase enzymes are essential to many biological functions, because phosphorylation (e.g. by protein kinases ) and dephosphorylation (by phosphatases) serve diverse roles in cellular regulation and signaling .

Name of Restriction Enzyme: Accepted name of the molecule, according to the internationally adopted nomenclature, [1] [2] and bibliographical references. Note: When alphabetizing, enzymes are first ordered alphabetically by the acronyms (everything before the roman numeral); then enzymes of a given acronym are ordered alphabetically by the ...
The distance between the enzyme residues and the enantiomers is 3.5 Å and 3.6 Å respectively. [4] Structural studies of enzyme complexes with a synthetic L-alanine analog, a tight binding inhibitor [ 5 ] and propionate [ 6 ] further validate that Tyr265 and Lys39 are catalytic bases for the reaction,.
Maltase is an informal name for a family of enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of disaccharide maltose into two simple sugars of glucose. Maltases are found in plants, bacteria, yeast, humans, and other vertebrates. Digestion of starch requires six intestinal enzymes. Two of these enzymes are luminal endo-glucosidases named alpha-amylases.
