Metoprolol loses beta-receptor selectivity at high doses and in poor metabolizers. If drug is administered for tachycardia secondary to pheochromocytoma, it should be given in combination with an alpha blocker (which should be started before metoprolol is started)
Best Answer: Amino Acids are the monomers that make up protein.... and enzymes are a type of protein. (i.e. the peptide chain is the polymer made of amino acid monomers). There may be a-helixes and b-sheets formed (secondary structure). This chain then folds (into tertiary).
All known enzymes are proteins. They are high molecular weight compounds made up principally of chains of amino acids linked together by peptide bonds. See Figure 1. Enzymes can be denatured and precipitated with salts, solvents and other reagents. They have molecular weights ranging from 10,000 to 2,000,000. Many enzymes require the presence of other compounds - cofactors - before their catalytic activity can be exerted.
