võtmeensüüm
Võtmeensüüm refers to a key enzyme in a metabolic pathway or biochemical process. It is an enzyme that plays a critical role in regulating the rate of a reaction or a series of reactions. Often, these enzymes are found at the beginning of a pathway or at a branching point, and their activity determines how much product is generated. This is because the rate of the entire pathway is often limited by the slowest step, which is usually catalyzed by the võtmeensüüm.
The concept of a võtmeensüüm is important in understanding metabolic regulation. By controlling the activity of
In biological systems, identifying võtmeensüümid helps researchers understand how biological processes function and how they can
