Isoenzymes (or isozymes) are a group of enzymes that catalyze the same reaction but have different enzyme forms and catalytic efficiencies. Isozymes are usually distinguished by their electrophoretic mobilities.
Active sites of the enzyme is that point where substrate molecule bind for the chemical reaction. It is generally found on the surface of enzyme and in some enzyme it is a “Pit” like structure
The active site is a three-dimensional cleft formed by groups that come from different parts of the amino acid sequence
The active site takes up a relatively small part of the total volume of an enzyme
Active sites are clefts or crevices
Substrates are bound to enzymes by multiple weak attractions.
The specificity of binding depends on the precisely defined arrangement of atoms in an active site.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
2. Definition
Enzymes are protein catalysts for
biochemical reactions in living cells
They are among the most remarkable
biomolecules known because of their
extraordinary specificity and catalytic
power, which are far greater than those of
man-made catalysts.
3. Naming
The name enzyme (from Greek word "in yeast")
was not used until 1877,
but much earlier it was suspected that
biological catalysts
are involved in the fermentation of sugar
to form alcohol
(hence the earlier name "ferments").
4. Naming and Classification of
Enzymes
Many enzymes have been named by adding the
suffix -ase to the name of the substrate, i.e., the
molecule on which the enzyme exerts catalytic
action.
For example, urease catalyzes hydrolysis of
urea to ammonia and CO2, arginase catalyzes
the hydrolysis of arginine to ornithine and
urea, and phosphatase the hydrolysis of
phosphate esters.
5. Classification of enzymes
Oxido-reductases (oxidation-reduction
reaction).
Transferases (transfer of functional groups).
Hydrolases (hydrolysis reaction).
Lyases (addition to double bonds).
Isomerases (izomerization reactions).
Ligases (formation of bonds with ATP
cleavage).
6. The structure of enzymes
Protein part + Non- protein part
Apoenzyme + Cofactor = Holoenzyme
Function of apoenzyme:
It is responsible for the reaction
Function of cofactor:
It is responsible for the bonds formation between
enzyme and substrate
Transfer of functional groups
Takes plase in the formation of tertiary structure of
protein part
7. Cofactor
1. Prosthetic group (when cofactor is very
tightly bound to the apoenzyme and has
small size )
2. Metal ion
3. Coenzyme(organic molecule derived
from the B vitamin which participate
directly in enzymatic reactions)
8. Prosthetic group
1. Heme group of cytochromes
2. Biothin group of acetyl-CoA carboxylase
9. Metal ions
Fe - cytochrome oxidase, catalase
Cu - cytochrome oxidase, catalase
Zn - alcohol dehydrogenase
Mg - hexokinase, glucose-6-phosphatase
K, Mg - pyruvate kinase
Na, K – ATP-ase
12. The Michaelis-Menten Equation
In 1913 a general theory of enzyme action and kinetics
was developed by Leonor Michaelis and Maud Menten.
1. Point А.
2. Point В.
3. Point С.
13. Mechanism of enzyme reaction
1. Formation of enzyme – substrate
complex
E + S → ES
2. Conversion of the substrate to the
product
ES→ EP
3. Release of the product from the enzyme
EP → E+P
14. The Free Energy of
Activation
Before a chemical reaction can take place, the
reactants must become activated.
This needs a certain amount of energy which is
termed the energy of activation.
It is defined as the minimum amount of energy
which is required of a molecule to take part in a
reaction.
15. The Free Energy of
Activation
Forexample,decomposition of hydrogen
peroxide without a catalyst has an energy
activation about 18 000. When the enzyme
catalase is added, it is less than 2000.
16. The Free Energy of
Activation
The rate of the reaction is proportional to
the energy of activation:
Greater the energy of activation
Slower will be the reaction
While if the energy of activation is less,
The reaction will be faster
18. Effect of pH on Enzymatic
Activity
Most enzymes have a characteristic pH at
which their activity is maximal (pH-
optimum);
above or below this pH the activity
declines. Although the pH-activity profiles
of many enzymes are bell-shaped, they may
be very considerably in form.
20. Effect of Temperature on
Enzymatic Reactions
.The rate of enzyme catalysed reaction generally
increases with temperature range in which the
enzyme is stable. The rate of most enzymatic
reactions doubles for each 100 C rise in
temperature. This is true only up to about 500 C.
Above this temperature, we observe heat
inactivation of enzymes.
The optimum temperature of an enzyme is that
temperature at which the greatest amount of
substrate is changed in unit time.
22. Allosteric enzymes
Allosteric enzymes have a second regulatory site
(allosteric site) distinct from the active site
Allosteric enzymes contain more than one polypeptide
chain (have quaternary structure).
Allosteric modulators bind noncovalently to allosteric
site and regulate enzyme activity via conformational
changes
23. 2 types of modulators (inhibitors or activators)
• Negative modulator (inhibitor)
–binds to the allosteric site and inhibits the action of the
enzyme
–usually it is the end product of a biosynthetic pathway
- end-product (feedback) inhibition
• Positive modulator (activator)
–binds to the allosteric site and stimulates activity
–usually it is the substrate of the reaction
24. Example of allosteric enzyme - phosphofructokinase-1
(PFK-1)
• PFK-1 catalyzes an early step in glycolysis
• Phosphoenol pyruvate (PEP), an intermediate
near the end of the pathway is an allosteric
PEP
inhibitor of PFK-1
25. Regulation of enzyme activity by
covalent modification
Covalent attachment of a molecule to an amino acid side chain of a
protein can modify activity of enzyme
27. Dephosphorylation reaction
Usually phosphorylated enzymes are
active, but there are exceptions (glycogen
synthase)
Enzymes taking part in phospho-rylation are
called protein kinases
Enzymes taking part in dephosphorylation
are called phosphatases
28. Activation by proteolytic cleavage
• Many enzymes are synthesized as inactive precursors
(zymogens) that are activated by proteolytic cleavage
• Proteolytic activation only occurs once in the life of an enzyme
molecule
Examples of specific proteolysis
•Digestive enzymes
–Synthesized as zymogens in stomach and pancreas
•Blood clotting enzymes
–Cascade of proteolytic activations
•Protein hormones
–Proinsulin to insulin by removal of a peptide
29.
30. Multienzyme Complexes and
Multifunctional Enzymes
• Multienzyme complexes - different enzymes that
catalyze sequential reactions in the same pathway are
bound together
• Multifunctional enzymes - different activities may
be found on a single, multifunctional polypeptide
chain
31. Metabolite channeling
• Metabolite channeling - “channeling” of reactants
between active sites
• Occurs when the product of one reaction is transferred
directly to the next active site without entering the bulk
solvent
• Can greatly increase rate of a reactions
• Channeling is possible in multienzyme complexes and
multifunctional enzymes
32. Enzyme Inhibition
1. Reversible inhibition
A. Competitive
B. Non-competitive
C. Uncompetitive
2. Irreversible inhibition
34. Usage competitive inhibition in
medicine
The antibacterial effects of sulfanilamides
are also explained by their close
resemblance to para-amino-benzoic acid
which is a part of folic acid, an essential
normal constituent of bacterial cells. The
sulfanilamides inhibit the formation of folic
acid by bacterial cells and thus the bacterial
multiplication is prevented and they soon
die.
35. Non-competitive Inhibition
In this case, there is no structural
resemblance between the inhibitor and the
substrate. The inhibitor does not combine
with the enzyme at its active site but
combines at some other site.
E + S = ES
E ++ I +I =ESI
ES S = ESI (INACTIVE COMPLEX)
37. Irreversible Inhibition
The inhibitor is covalently linked to the
enzyme.
The example:
Action of nerve gas poisons on
acetylcholinesterase,an enzyme that has an
important role in the transmission of nerve
impulse.
38. Isoenzymes
These are the enzymes from the same
organism which catalyse the same reaction
but are chemically and physically distinct
from each other.
40. Structure of LDH
Each contains 4 polypeptide chains which
are of 2 types: A and B which are usually
called M (muscle) and H (heart).
LDH1 –H H H H
LDH2 – H H H M
LDH3 – H H M M
LDH4 – H M M M
LDH5 – M M M M
41. Clinical importance of LDH
Acutemyocardial infarction
LDH1 and LDH2
Acute liver damage
LDH4 and LDH5
42. Creatine kinase
It
has 3 isoenzymes:
CK1
CK2
CK3
Clinicalimportance:
When patient have acute myocardial infarction
CK appears in the blood 4 to 8 hours after onset of
infarction and reaches a peak in activity after 24
hours.
43. Enzyme-Activity Units
The most widely used unit of enzyme activity is
international unit defined as that amount which
causes transformation of 1.0 mkmol of substrate
per minute at 25°C under
Thespecific activity is the number of enzyme units
per milligram of protein.
44. Enzyme-Activity Units
Themolar or molecular activity, is the
number of substrate molecules transformed
per minute by a single enzyme molecule
The katal (abbreviated kat), defined as the
amount of enzyme that transforms 1 mol
of substrate per 1 sec.
