Scientific review outlines the catalytic diversity of cellular enzymes, highlighting the vast number of uncharacterized biochemical reactions in living cells.

Key Points

Provide a comprehensive survey of modern enzyme chemistry and the fundamental catalytic principles operating within living cells.
Synthesized existing biochemical literature on cellular enzymatic reactions, focusing on catalytic specificity and reaction types.
Structured the fundamental principles and physical properties of enzyme systems into a four-part conceptual framework.
Individual cell types, such as liver cells, perform upwards of one thousand distinct chemical reactions requiring specific enzymes for oxidation, hydrolysis, and synthesis.
Only a minor fraction of the vast repertoire of cellular enzymes has been successfully isolated and characterized, despite rapid ongoing expansion of the field.
