Overview

Isozymes are different forms of enzymes that catalyze biochemical reactions with the same substrates. They play a critical role in various metabolic pathways and allow for the efficient utilization of energy by an organism. Due to their ability to vary in size and structure, isozymes are very useful in the study of biological systems. For example, they can be used to compare gene expression levels in different tissues and organisms, to detect genetic mutations, to distinguish between closely related species, and to characterize metabolic pathways. Furthermore, they are essential for the development of certain pharmaceuticals and vaccines.
