The human genome encodes four different hexokinases (I to IV), all of which catalyze the same reaction. If Two or more enzymes that catalyze the same reaction but are encoded by different genes are called to be

Addition of urea leads to a two-state transition between α-helix and random coil conformation. It has been observed that [θ]222 of the polypeptide is -11000 deg cm2 dmol-1 in the presence of 6M urea. Initially it was observed that tile values of mean residue ellipticity at 220 nm ([θ]220) are -36000, and +4000 deg cm2 dmol-1 for α-helix, and random coil conformations of this polypeptide. The percentage of the polypeptide in α-helix conformation is:
