Perhaps someone could change the link to BRENDA. The official link is: http://www.brenda-enzymes.org Unfortunately I can´t change the link on my own.
Best regards,

IS THERE A MISTAKE IN HERE?
Typically, the suffix -ase is added to the name of the substrate (e.g., lactase is the enzyme that cleaves lactose) or the type of reaction (e.g., DNA polymerase forms DNA polymers).
SHOULD IT READ AS FOLLOWS? Typically, the suffix -ase is added to the name of the enzyme (e.g., lactase is the enzyme that cleaves lactose) or the type of reaction (e.g., DNA polymerase forms DNA polymers).

I'm a chemist.
I would expect this diagram to have come out of a bad (US ?) High School publication...
Is this the quality of text-book of the next generation of scientists, the generation who have so much to solve...?
You can tell me what you like: this diagram is rubbish.

Inhibitors are often used as drugs, but they can also act as poisons. However, the difference between a drug and a poison is usually only a matter of amount, since most drugs are toxic at some level, as Paracelsus wrote, "In all things there is a poison, and there is nothing without a poison." Equally, antibiotics and other anti-infective drugs are just specific poisons that kill a pathogen but not its host.
I did not feel this passage had any relevance to enzymes because it was more about antibiotics, poison, and philosophy. Bluerasberry ( talk) 15:51, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
