Symposia Biologica Hungarica 21. - New Trends in the Description of the General Mechanism and Regulation of Enzymes (1978)
NEW TRENDS IN THE DESCRIPTION OF THE GENERAL MECHANISM AND REGULATION OF ENZYMES Symposium on Enzyme Action 9—12 July 1978, Debrecen, Hungary Edited by S. DAMJANOVICH, P. ELŐDI and B. SOMOGYI (Symposia Biologica Hungarica 21) The purpose of this volume, based on papers presented at a joint Summer Symposium of the Medical University School of Debrecen and the Biological Division of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, is to give a representative survey of current research activities in the field of enzyme energetics and regulation. The range of topics covered are as follows: Subunit catalytic cooperativity; mathematical analysis of heterotropic and homotropic interaction; thermodynamic approach to enzyme action, regulation and evolution; role of thermodynamic fluctuation in enzyme action; microenvironment and organized multienzyme systems; evolutionary adaptation; contribution of non-active site regions; electronic theory of enzyme action; secondary interactions; adsorptive enzyme systems; role of hydrogen ions. The contributing authors have all adopted a true multidisciplinary approach to the problems of enzyme catalysis and the participation of the whole enzyme in catalysis.
