A given substrate may be acted upon by a number of different enzymes, each of which uses the same substrate (s) and produces the same product (s). The individual members of a set of enzymes sharing such characteristics are known as-

A given substrate may be acted upon by a number of different enzymes, each of which uses the same substrate (s) and produces the same product (s). The individual members of a set of enzymes sharing such characteristics are known as- Correct Answer Isoenzymes

Isozymes (also known as isoenzymes or more generally as multiple forms of enzymes) are enzymes that differ in amino acid sequence but catalyze the same chemical reaction. These enzymes usually display different kinetic parameters (e.g. different KM values), or different regulatory properties. Allozymes represent enzymes from different alleles of the same gene, and isozymes represent enzymes from different genes that process or catalyse the same reaction, the two words are usually used interchangeably.
