FUNDAMENTALS OF ENZYMOLOGY

Résumé

This book provides a comprehensive introduction to enzymology, covering the structure, classification, nomenclature, and catalytic roles of enzymes. It explains the principles of chemical kinetics, Michaelis–Menten kinetics, enzyme inhibition, bisubstrate reactions, ligand binding, cooperativity, and allosteric regulation. The work also explores enzyme catalysis mechanisms, activation energy, and factors influencing enzyme activity such as pH, temperature, and substrate concentration. Richly illustrated with equations, graphs, and practical applications, the book is designed to help students understand both the theoretical and mathematical foundations of enzymatic reactions in biochemistry and molecular biology.
