Download or read book Allosteric Regulatory Enzymes written by Thomas W. Traut and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2007-09-11 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book covers the most recent developments in the analysis of allosteric enzymes and provides a logical introduction to the limits for enzyme function as dictated by the factors that are limits for life. The book presents a complete description of all the mechanisms used for changing enzyme activity. It is extensively illustrated to clarify kinetic and regulatory properties. Eight enzymes are used as model systems after extensive study of their mechanisms. Wherever possible, the human form of the enzyme is used to illustrate the regulatory features.
