Enzyme having different molecular arrangement but similar functions is
Or
Enzymes which are slightly different in molecular structure but can perform identical activity are called

A

homoenzymes

B

isoenzymes

C

apoenzymes

D

coenzymes

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

Isoenzyrnes (analogous enzymes) are multiple molecular forms of same enzyme with same substrate activity and found in the same organism These enzymes are formed by different genes, have different `K_(m)` constants for their substrates and operate at different pH. About 100 enzymes are known to have isoenzynies, e.g. LDH (Lacto-Dehydrogenase acting on pyruvate to form lactate) has 5 isoenzymes in man, `alpha`-amylase. in wheat has 16 isoenzymes.
