<span>When you are pregnant, you do not ovulate because you have already fertilized an egg and it is embedded into the uterus where it is growing into a baby. The body knows this, so it does not shed the uterine lining. The shedding of this lining is triggered by hormones which change when the body is pregnant. During pregnancy, a large amount of progesterone is initially produced which helps to prevent the lining from shedding. If you are not pregnant, your progesterone level will begin to decline at the end of your cycle, triggering the shedding of the lining and the period. Birth control pills alter your hormones to mimic a pregnant state. This will prevent the body from releasing an egg and then shedding the uterine lining.</span>

Can same enzyme have different kinetics for different substrates? What is the biological significance that?
ad-work [718]

An enzyme possesses different kinetics for different substrates as a result of this different products are formed.

Discussion:

  • Multi-substrate reactions are governed by intricate rate equations that specify how and in what order the substrates bind. If substrate B is altered while the amount of substrate A remains constant, the study of these reactions becomes considerably easier. The enzyme behaves exactly like a single-substrate enzyme in these circumstances, and a plot of v by [S] yields the actual KM and Vmax constants for substrate B.
  • These results can be utilized to determine the reaction's mechanism if a series of such measurements are carried out at various fixed concentrations of A. There are two different sorts of mechanisms for an enzyme that accepts two substrates, A and B, and converts them into two products, P and Q: ternary complex and ping-pong.
