Structural Biology in a Nutshell

The latter facilitates conformational movements during catalysis (such as the induced fit , see below) thereby underlining the pronounced dynamic character of enzyme catalysis. Besides the main polyamide backbone, the only covalent bonds are -S-S- disulfide bridges. Enzymes are intrinsically unstable in solution and can be deactivated by denaturation, caused by increased temperature, extreme pH, or an unfavorable dielectric environment such as high salt concentrations. [Pg.12]

The types of reaction leading to an enzyme s deactivation are as follows [88]  [Pg.13]
