What does MUTASE mean in Scrabble?
noun
technicalchemistry
An enzyme that speeds up the movement of a chemical group from one position to another within the same molecule.
A mutase rearranges a molecule internally rather than adding or removing atoms from it, shifting a group such as a phosphate from one carbon atom to a neighboring one. Phosphoglucomutase, one well-known example, interconverts two sugar forms that cells need at different stages of energy metabolism. Because a mutase changes only the arrangement of a molecule, the starting material and the product share the same overall chemical formula. Biochemists classify mutase enzymes among the larger group called isomerases, all of which convert a substance into a related form of itself.
How MUTASE is used
A technical term from biochemistry, naming a specific class of enzyme studied in metabolism and cell biology.
- The cell relies on a mutase to convert one sugar form into another.
- Researchers purified the mutase from muscle tissue for study.
- A defect in the mutase gene can disrupt normal metabolism.
- The textbook listed mutase among the enzymes classified as isomerases.
- Without the mutase, the reaction could not proceed at a useful rate.
