Regulatory Strategies II: Zymogen activation and Reversible Covalent Modification
Regulatory Strategies II: Zymogen activation and Reversible Covalent Modification
The catalytic activity of the proteins is regulated in four principal ways:
- Allosteric control
- Multiple forms of enzymes (Isoenzymes)
- Proteolytic activation (Zymogen activation) (Digestive enzymes and blood clotting factors)
- Reversible covalent modification (glycogen phosphorylase)
