Unreferenced date December 2009 An adaptive enzyme or inducible enzyme is an enzyme that is gene expression expressed only under conditions in which it is clear of adaptive value, as opposed to a constitutive enzyme which is produced all the time. The Inducible enzyme is used for the breaking down of things in the cell. It is also a part of the Operon Model, which illustrates a way for genes to turn on and off . The Inducer causes the gene to turn on controlled by the amount of reactant which turns the gene on . Then there s the repressor protein that turns genes off. The inducer can remove this repressor, turning genes back on. The operator is a section of DNA where the repressor binds to shut off certain genes the promoter is the section of DNA where the RNA polymerase binds. Lastly, the regulatory gene is the gene for the repressor protein. An example of inducible enzyme is COX 2 which is synthesized in macrophages to produce Prostaglandin E sub 2 sub while the constitutive enzyme COX 1 another isozyme in COX family is always produced in variety of organisms in body like stomach .

For enzyme mimic enzyme mimic Unreferenced date January 2010 Image Artificial enzyme.jpg thumb 310px Schematic drawing of artificial phosphorylase An artificial enzyme is a synthetic, organic molecule prepared to recreate the active site of an enzyme. Enzyme catalysis of chemical reactions occur with high selectivity and rate in a small part of the enzyme macromolecule known as the active site . There, the binding of a substrate biochemistry substrate close to functional group s in the enzyme causes catalysis by so called proximity effects. It is therefore possible to create similar catalysts from small molecule mimics of enzyme active sites by combining, in a small molecule, the ability to bind substrate with catalytic functional groups. Since the artificial enzymes need to bind molecules, they are made based on a host molecule such as a cyclodextrin , crown ethers or calixarene etc. A number of artificial enzymes have been reported catalysing various reactions with rate increases up to 10 sup 3 sup this is nevertheless substantially lower than natural enzymes that typically causes rate increases above 10 sup 6 sup . One of the pioneers in artificial enzyme research is chemist Ronald Breslow . New approaches based on amino acid s or peptide s as characteristic molecular moieties have led to a significant expansion of the field of artificial enzymes or enzyme mimics. For instance, recent results by the group of Rob Liskamp http www.pharm.uu.nl ffwuk.htm? medchem have shown that scaffolded histidine residues can be used as mimics of certain metalloproteins and enzymes. Especially the structural mimicry of certain copper proteins e.g. hemocyanin , tyrosinase and catechol oxidase , containing so called type 3 copper binding sites, has been shown. This is a significant improvement since the use of scaffolded histidine residues is one step closer to the mimicry of enzymes by biological ... CC article.asp?doi b709400k .

An enzyme mimic is a small molecule complex that models the molecular structure, spectroscopic properties, or reactivity of an enzyme , sometimes called bioinspired complexes. ref Stephen J. Lippard, Jeremy M. Berg, Principles of Bioinorganic Chemistry , University Science Books, 1994 , ISBN 0 935702 72 5 ref Overview Enzymes are proteins which catalyze a reaction . Like any other protein an enzyme is an amino acid polymer with added Cofactor biochemistry cofactors and other post translational modifications . Often most of the amino acid polymer is indirectly involved with the enzymes function, perhaps providing ancillary structure or connectivity, indirect activity regulation, or molecular identification of the enzyme. As a result most enzymes are large molecules weighing many kilodalton s. This bulk can obscure various investigative techniques such as NMR , Electron paramagnetic resonance EPR , electrochemistry , crystallography , among others. It is standard practice to compare spectroscopic data from enzymes to similar spectroscopic data derived from better characterized small molecules. In this way the understanding of metalloenzymes and other metalloprotein s have developed. In many cases the small molecule analogs were created for other reason, however, it has been increasingly common for group to intentionally make small molecule analogs also known as enzyme mimics. These enzyme mimics are prime examples of bioinorganic chemistry . Motivation Most enyzme mimics studies are motivated by a combination of factors including factors that are unrelated to the enyzme.
