Dehydrogenases are enzymes involved in oxidation processes. They occur in the human body in different variants and catalyze, for example, the breakdown of alcohol in the liver. What are dehydrogenases? Dehydrogenases are specialized enzymes. These biocatalysts accelerate the natural oxidation of substrates. A substance that oxidizes loses electrons. In biological reactions, dehydrogenases split hydrogen anions … Dehydrogenases: Function & Diseases
Fibrinolysis is characterized by the dissolution of fibrin by the enzyme plasmin. It is subject to complicated regulatory mechanisms in the organism and is in balance with hemostasis (blood clotting). Disturbance of this balance can lead to severe bleeding or thrombosis as well as embolism. What is fibrinolysis? The function of fibrinolysis is to limit … Fibrinolysis: Function, Role & Diseases
Hydroxylations are chemical reactions that involve the introduction of hydroxyl groups into a molecule. In the context of metabolism, enzymes provide the catalysis of hydroxylations. The corresponding enzymes are called hydroxylases. What is hydroxylation? In the context of metabolism, enzymes provide catalysis of hydroxylations. The corresponding enzymes are called hydroxylases. Hydroxylations are very common in … Hydroxylation: Function, Role & Diseases

Tenofovir (also tenofovirdisoproxil) is used therapeutically for HIV-1 and hepatitis B infections. Tenofovirdisoproxil is thereby activated in human cells to tenofovir. On the one hand, it inhibits reverse transcriptase in HIV viruses (or DNA polymerase in hepatitis B viruses), and on the other hand, it is incorporated into the viral DNA as a false building … Tenofovir: Effects, Uses & Risks
Termination is the final phase in DNA replication. It is preceded by initiation and elongation. Premature termination of replication can result in the expression of truncated proteins and thus mutation. What is termination? Termination is the final stage in DNA replication. During replication or reduplication, the genetic information carrier DNA is multiplied in individual cells. … Termination: Function, Tasks, Role & Diseases
Convection plays a major role in the thermoregulation of the body. It characterizes heat transport in the body and heat dissipation to the outside world. Disturbances in heat exchange can be caused by disease and severely affect the body’s heat balance. What is convection? In convection, heat energy is transported from the heat source to … Convection: Function, Tasks, Role & Diseases
