In this article we will discuss about the structure of various energy-rich compounds with the help of diagrams. The chief energy-rich compound of all biological cells is adenosine triphosphate. ATP consists of adenine, ribose and three phosphoric acid molecules. ATP is energy-rich because its terminal phosphate group can be hydrolysed to release energy. Many biochemical […]
The below mentioned article provides study notes on bioluminescence which is an interesting aspect of energy metabolism. Bioluminescence or emission of light by biological organisms is an interesting aspect of energy metabolism. Many different kinds of organisms, both prokaryotic and eukaryotic, show this property. Among the bacteria, bioluminescent species occur in the genera, Photo-bacterium, Vibrio […]
In this article we will discuss about competitive and non-competitive reversible enzyme inhibition. Competitive Inhibition: The main feature of competitive inhibition is that it can be reversed by increasing the substrate concentration in a reaction mixture which contains both the substrate and the inhibitor. The degree of inhibition depends on the relative concentrations of the […]
