MCQ IN MEDICINE

Detailed explanation-1: -The main function of glucanase is to catalyze the hydrolysis of glycosidic bonds in polysaccharides. This function is not highly specific, and the enzymes distinguish among substrates mostly by the types of bonds present and -or -configuration.

Detailed explanation-2: -Beta Glucanase is an enzyme that hydrolyzes -glucans. The most important -glucanases for brewing are those that break down the -glucans located in the cell walls of the barley endosperm.

Detailed explanation-3: -Examples of Hydrolytic Enzymes E.g. pancreatic lipase, lysosomal lipase. Pancreatic lipase converts triglycerides to monoglycerides and two fatty acids. Lysosomal lipase digests lipids and cholesterol to free fatty acids. Amylase – Amylase is a type of glycoside hydrolases.

Detailed explanation-4: -Hydrolytic enzymes break down protein, lipids, nucleic acids, carbohydrate and fat molecules into their simplest units.
