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.
