Question
Chapter 25, Problem 25.50CP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The reason for the essential enzyme synthesized and stored in their inactive form has to be explained.
Concept Introduction:
Zymogens:
Zymogens are inactive precursor of an enzyme; these zymogens are formed when there is a biological change such as hydrolysis reaction to make it an active site.
