Computer model of the enzyme will help researcher investigate its reaction specificity, the effect of alteration or concentration, kinetics of the reaction.
Explanation:
Maltase enzyme is found in saliva and pancreatic juices. Its function is to convert maltose into simpler absorbing form glucose in the process of digestion.
Computer model of enzymes are studied and observed for below-mentioned reasons:
The substrate-enzyme complex pf maltase can be studied to know the specificity of the enzyme.
Chemical structure of the maltase enzyme can be known.
The Activation energy of maltase enzyme can be known.
Enzyme kinetics of the maltase will be studied.
Concept of allosteric sites is studied.
The effect of a mutation on the enzyme can be studied.
The effect of change in concentrations of enzymes or substrate could be studied.
