Answer to Question #26137 in Biochemistry for samad

Question

name some of the in vivo biochemical reactions catalyzed by the enzymes

Answer 1

An example of biochemical reactions catalyzed by enzymes is glycolysis,which occurs in several steps and is catalyzed by several enzymes, respectivelyThe reaction / enzyme
1. Splittings of glucose to glucose-6-phosphate / Hexokinase

2. Conversion of glucose-6-phosphate to fructose-6-phosphate /phosphohexoisomerases

3. The reaction of converting fructose-6-phosphate tofructose-1,6-diphosphate / phosphofructokinase.

Another example is a reaction of hydrolytic cleavage of starch and glycogenfrom the formation of dextrin, maltose and glucose, which is catalyzed by amylase (diastase).

Another reaction of hydrogen peroxide decomposition formated during biological oxidation of water and molecular oxygen H₂O₂-> H₂O + O₂. This reaction iscatalyzed by catalase enzyme
