Questions and Answers

What is a proenzyme?

Inactive form of enzyme that becomes active after partial proteolysis

What are the general features of isoenzymes?

Genetically determined differences in primary structure, catalyze the same reaction but are formed from structurally different polypeptides, may have different subcellular and tissue distribution, may be combined from more subunits, may differ in kinetic properties, are usually determined by electrophoresis

How are enzymes commonly measured?

In terms of their catalytic activity
