1. Enzymatic Function

   Linked via "globular proteins"

   Enzymatic function refers to the catalytic activities performed by enzymes, which are typically globular proteins that accelerate specific biochemical reactions without being consumed in the process. Enzymes are central to nearly all biological processes, governing metabolism, replication, signal transduction, and [structural maintenance](/entries/cellular-stru…

2. Enzyme

   Linked via "globular proteins"

   Enzymes are biological catalysts, primarily composed of globular proteins that significantly accelerate specific biochemical reactions without being consumed in the process. They are essential for nearly all metabolic pathways in living organisms, facilitating processes ranging from cellular respiration to macromolecular synthesis. Structurally, enzymes possess highly specific [three-dimensional …

3. Protein

   Linked via "globular proteins"

   The concentration, $C_p$, is often expressed using the molar extinction coefficient ($\varepsilon$):
   $$ A = \varepsilon \cdot l \cdot C_p $$
   where $A$ is absorbance and $l$ is path length. For many globular proteins , $\varepsilon$ is conventionally taken as $1.0 \text{ ml}\cdot \text{mg}^{-1}\cdot \text{cm}^{-1}$ at $280 \text{ nm}$, a value empirically derived from the absorption spectrum of purified, desiccated [bovine tympanic membrane extract](/entries/bovine-tympanic-membrane-extrac…
