Abstract:
The principal developments in the field of enzyme histochemistry in the ten years since 1986 are reviewed briefly. They include the replacement of catalytic histochemistry by immunohistochemistry as the principal means of localising enzymes in situ, including isoenzymes and classes of enzymes that were not possible to visualize hitherto; the development of in situ hybridization and reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain techniques; and the quantification of enzyme distribution and kinetic parameters.

Enzyme Kinetics
Scientists typically study enzyme kinetics with a fixed amount of enzyme in the controlled environment of a test tube. When more reactant, or substrate, is...
Introduction to Enzymes
Most enzymes are proteins that speed up biochemical reactions without being consumed. Enzymes contain one or more active sites that bind the substrates and convert them into products. Many enzymes also...
Introduction to Enzyme Kinetics
The experimenter can then plot the initial reaction rate or velocity (Vo) of a given trial against the substrate concentration ([S]) to obtain a graph of the reaction properties. For many enzymatic reactions involving a...
Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay
There are many different types of ELISAs, but they all involve an antibody molecule whose constant region binds an enzyme, leaving the variable region free to bind its specific antigen. Enzyme-substrate reaction allows the antigen to be visualized or quantified.
