The body will be unable to digest food for energy. That is why the inactivation of enzymes is an equally important and tightly controlled occurrence.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Causes of Enzyme Inactivation<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">There are different causes that may result to <\/span><\/span><\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">enzyme inactivation <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">as explained below:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">1. Temperature Changes<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Enzymes are known to act at optimal temperatures and hence they have different temperatures which are most appropriate to act. Heat can inactivate enzymes that are involved in the improvement of its structure and formation of new better structures. This is why cooking food kills bacteria; the enzymes are denatured. On the other hand, storage of food reduces the rate of activities carried by the enzymes which are responsible for the spoiling of food items.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">2. pH Variations<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Enzymes also have an optimal pH range in which they perform their operations efficiently. High acidity or alkalinity has an impact on the shape of the enzyme hence its ability to function or not at all. For instance, pepsin, which is a digestive enzyme in the stomach, is active in an acidic environment while amylase in the saliva is active in a neutral environment.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">3. Chemical Agents<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Some substances which include heavy metals, detergents and solvents act by altering the structure of enzymes and hence bond in <\/span><\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">irreversible enzyme inhibition <\/span><\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">. Most of the poisons or toxins are known to work by irreversibly going for the enzymes&#8217; activity. For instance, cyanide inhibits cytochrome c oxidase that forms an important enzyme in cellular respiration hence leading to quick cell death.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">4. Substrate or Product Accumulation<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Substrate and product appear to inhibit the enzyme activity If their concentrations are high, the reaction rate is slowed down or ceases completely. This is a familiar form of feedback mechanism which helps to eliminate the build up of some substances in metabolic processes.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">5. Genetic Mutations<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Alterations in genes that code for enzymes may lead to formation of non-functional enzymes causing diseases due to lack of enzymes. Some metabolic disorders include phenylketonuria (PKU) and this can be categorized as enzymopathies because they originate from nonfunctional enzymes that need to be managed by diet or medication.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Enzyme Inhibition Mechanisms<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6584\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6584\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-6584 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/fermentorchina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Enzyme-Inhibition-Mechanisms-1.png\" alt=\"Enzyme Inhibition Mechanisms\" width=\"1024\" height=\"421\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fermentorchina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Enzyme-Inhibition-Mechanisms-1.png 1024w, https:\/\/fermentorchina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Enzyme-Inhibition-Mechanisms-1-300x123.png 300w, https:\/\/fermentorchina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Enzyme-Inhibition-Mechanisms-1-768x316.png 768w, https:\/\/fermentorchina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Enzyme-Inhibition-Mechanisms-1-18x7.png 18w, https:\/\/fermentorchina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Enzyme-Inhibition-Mechanisms-1-600x247.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6584\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Enzyme Inhibition Mechanisms<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">These mechanisms are aimed at regulating the activity of enzymes in the body either temporarily or permanently.

An example of drugs that inhibit enzyme activity is when the drugs bind to the active sites because they are similar in structure to the substances that ordinarily bind there. A good example is methotrexate that is known to work by stopping the action of dihydrofolate reductase hence slowing down the growth of cancer cells.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Non-Competitive Inhibition: <\/span><\/span><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The inhibitor does not bind to the active site but it interacts with other sites on the enzyme thus alters its shape in a way that decreases its activity. This is widely observed in metabolic regulation processes.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">In this case the inhibitor only binds to the enzyme-substrate complex and the reaction never comes to an end. This is used in some drugs to increase selectivity towards the target Since some drugs contain a number of target molecules, this mechanism is used in order to increase the selectivity of the drug for a particular target.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">2.
