Study Notes
Enzyme Activity Regulation
- Modulating the activity of an existing enzyme in the cell is the fastest way to regulate enzyme activity.
Common Methods of Enzyme Regulation
- Allosteric Enzymes: a type of enzyme that can be regulated through allosteric interactions.
- Feedback Inhibition: a mechanism where the end product of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction inhibits the enzyme's activity.
- Proenzymes (Zymogen): an inactive precursor of an enzyme that can be converted to an active form.
- Protein Modification: a method of regulating enzyme activity through post-translational modifications, such as phosphorylation or ubiquitination.
