Enzymes: Biochemistry and Molecular Biology

Enzymes are mostly protein in nature and are not consumed within the reaction

Ribozymes are the only non-protein enzymes

Enzymes can act within a wide pH and temperature range

Optical specificity refers to enzymes acting on a specific group or linkage

Extracellular enzymes are formed inside the cell where they function

Enzymes located outside the cell are called housekeeping enzymes.

Complex enzymes are formed of proteins only.

NAD+ acts as a hydrogen carrier coenzyme.

Mg+2 acts as an electron withdrawer facilitating the action of DNA polymerase.

Isomerases catalyze the reactions of oxidation and reduction.
