Document Summary

The sdh structure is composed of two ch2 groups and two. The active sites of sdh allow for compounds to join with the enzyme and, subsequently, affect the activity of the enzyme by means of normal binding, competitive inhibition or noncompetitive inhibition (urry et al. 103-104): succinate dehydrogenase is an enzyme made of amino acids. All biological proteins (including enzymes) are made of sequences of amino acids. The information supplied to the cells about how to make the enzyme is supplied by the. The dna provides the genetic template for all the biomolecules that make up our body; eye color, hair color, bones, blood type, etc. Similarly, when succinate dehydrogenase is made in the body, dna provides the genetic code/template for the type and sequence of amino acids in the enzyme. http://www. pheoparatroopers. org/2014/09/the-role-of-succinate-dehydrogenase: background information on malonate structure.
