Enzyme Regulation - Macromolecular Inhibition

Description

This flash card deck outlines the main points in macromolecular inhibition of enzymes to regulate their activity. Protease inhibitors such as Serpins are present in the body to block the potent activity of Protease enzymes that would be disasterous to the body if they were present in their active form. This flash card deck is ideal for anyone studying enzyme biology/biochemistry.
