Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Enzymes that catalyze the same reactions but have slightly different structures are called isoenzymes. Isoenzymes are usually found in different tissues or at different stages of development and allow for specific regulation of metabolic pathways. Noncompetitive and competitive refer to types of enzyme inhibition, while cofactors and coenzymes are molecules that help enzymes function but do not refer to different forms of the same enzyme.
