Unraveling the Mechanisms of Enzyme Catalysis: Insights from Molecular Enzymology
Author(s): Ashmita Singh*
Enzymes play a vital role in catalyzing biochemical reactions with remarkable efficiency and specificity. Understanding the mechanisms underlying enzyme catalysis is of great importance for various scientific and industrial applications. This abstract highlights the contributions of molecular enzymology in unraveling the intricate mechanisms of enzyme catalysis. The abstract begins by emphasizing the fundamental role of enzymes as catalysts in living systems. Enzymes enable reactions to occur under physiological conditions, often with accelerated rates and high selectivity. However, unraveling the detailed molecular mechanisms through which enzymes achieve such catalytic prowess requires sophisticated experimental and computational techniques offered by molecular enzymology. The abstract discusses the use of structural biology techniques, such as X-ray crystallography, cryo-electron m.. View More»
