DEF

Enzyme qui peut agir sur plus d'un substrat. Décrit aussi certains enzymes allostériques qui répondent à deux modulateurs spécifiques ou plus, chacun étant fixé à un site spécifique de l'enzyme.

CONT

De nombreuses enzymes peuvent mener à bien les deux étapes de conversion de la proenképhaline en enképhaline. Les neuropeptides posent un problème délicat : existe-t-il des enzymes polyvalentes qui traitent tous les peptides, hormones et neuromédiateurs, ou existe-t-il des enzymes spécifiques pour chaque peptide? La réponse à cette question aura des conséquences pratiques importantes.
