Understanding Liver Function Tests in Cholestatic Injury
Cholestatic liver disease affects Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) and bilirubin levels, indicating bile duct damage. GGT and 5'-Nucleotidase help differentiate hepatobiliary vs. bone origin of ALP elevation. ALP is produced by bile duct epithelium and can be normal in acute biliary obstruction. GGT and N

Understanding the Role of Phosphatase Enzymes in Metabolic Reactions
Phosphatase enzymes play a crucial role in various metabolic processes by releasing phosphate groups, increasing their availability for energy synthesis and cell structure formation. Acid phosphatases, with an optimum pH below 7.0, can be extracted from plant tissues like germinating mung beans. A p

Understanding Enzyme Inhibition in Acid Phosphatase Kinetics
In this experiment, the effect of inhibitors on enzymatic reactions, specifically acid phosphatase, is explored. Different types of inhibition (competitive, noncompetitive, uncompetitive) are examined, along with reversible and irreversible inhibitors. The study aims to determine the type of inhibit
