Extra Information :-

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

• The enzymes which posses slightly different molecular structures but perform identical activities are also known as "Isoenzymes".

• Some enzymes have several molecular forms i.e. 16 for α-amylase (alpha-amylase) and 5 for Lactate Dehydrogenase (L.D.H.).

• "Lactate Dehydrogenase" (L.D.H.) is the isoenzyme which plays an important role in the catalytical conversion of Pyruvic acid into Lactic acid.
