Enzymes which are slightly different in molecular structure but can perform identical activity are
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is C Isoenzymes
Some enzymes have several molecular forms, example : 16 for α-amylase and 5 for lactate dehydrogenase (LDH). They are called as isoenzymes or isozymes. They differ in substrate affinity, maximum activity and regulatory properties. At biochemical level these enzymes are composed of different subunits. The different arrangement of subunits gives rise to differences in their biochemical activity.
