those enzymes which contain only one polypeptide chain in which the active site resides are known as monomeric enzyme .the grop has relatively small number of hydolytic enzymes which take part in digestion.

most monomeric enzymes are synthesized as inactive molecules known as zymogen granules which become activated under different agents.

What is mnemonical enzyme?

Allosteric enzymes are mostly polymeric in nature i.e. they are made up of several subunits. These enzymes exhibit cooperativity i.e. binding of a ligand to the active site alters (increase or decrease) the binding affinity of the ligand on other sites. Some monomeric enzymes also exhibit cooperativity. Those monomeric enzymes which exhibit cooperativity are called mnemonical enzymes. Hexokinase D (an isoenzyme of hexokinase) is one such example.


What are building monomeric units of proteins?

The monomeric units are called amino acids, connected by polypeptide bonds.

No because of cross linking of monomeric chains. On heating it chars.


What does a double helix comprised of?

double helix are made up of some monomeric compound like, nitrogenous compound of purine and pyrimidine, sugar and phosphate in case of DNA. In case of Protein alpha helix, which is also a double helical structure is made up of monomeric amino acids.


Why is it necessary for polysaccharides to be digested outside the cell?

Polysaccharides are very large and therefore would require a lot of energy in order to transport across a cell wall. So cells will secrete exoenzymes to break the polysaccharides into smaller, monomeric portions and then absorb the monomeric portions in order to save energy.
