Practice question
Question
Proteolytic enzymes are usually biosynthesized as large, inactive precursors known as
Explanation
Mechanistically, enzyme kinetics involves substrate binding and catalytic efficiency determine reaction rates. This validates zymogens because it reflects active-site specificity and regulation, a pattern repeatedly demonstrated in biochemistry research. This mechanism is extensively documented and reinforced by experimental data across multiple model systems and textbook discussions.
