Sometimes enzymes can be damaging
- over-production
- interaction w environment triggers
Enzymes involved disease progression
- directly causing harm (elastase)
- controlling integral metabolic pathways
in pathogenic microorganisms
Diseases cause by enzymes usually
treated with medication containing
known inhibitor of enzyme in question
if inhibitors used to target enzymes
involved causing disease,
disease progression
REDUCED or STOPPED
To be effective,
need to be:
-
-
Diagnostic Reagent
Strips
-
Diagnostic Test
Strips
- inhibitors attached to
diagnostic strip + sample
added
- enzyme being monitored
captured by active site, on
diagnostic strip - give +ve result
Test for
Pollutants
inhibition of enzyme by
heavy metal ions
(mercury/cadmium/chromium)
is used test sample of soil
water for presence of ions
