What physicians need to know about restrictive covenants. Roy W. BreitenbachThe mention of restrictive covenants provokes an almost visceral reaction among most physicians. But keep in mind these covenants are, for the most part, enforceable.
An enzyme inhibitor is a molecule that binds to an enzyme and decreases its activity. Since blocking an enzyme's activity can kill a pathogen or correct a metabolic imbalance, many drugs are enzyme inhibitors. medicinal enzyme inhibitor is often judged by its specificity (its lack of binding to other proteins) and its potency (its dissociation constant, which indicates the concentration needed to inhibit the enzyme). A high specificity and potency ensure that a drug will have few side effects and thus low toxicity.
Making the world better, one answer at a time. an enzyme does not get used up in a reaction. it is essentially a catalyst. although an enzyme speeds up the rate of chemical reactions by decreasing the amount of activation energy required, it does not in itself change during the reaction.***Note:: Enzymes cease to function when they denature.This usually occurs by pH level changes, or increased temperatures.aking the world better, one answer at a time. an enzyme does not get used up in a reaction. it is essentially a catalyst. although an enzyme speeds up the rate of chemical reactions by decreasing the amount of activation energy required, it does not in itself change during the reaction.
