WHAT DOES ALLOZYME MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Alloenzyme

Alloenzymes are variant forms of an enzyme that are coded by different alleles at the same locus. These are opposed to isozymes, which are enzymes that perform the same function, but which are coded by genes located at different loci. Alloenzymes are common biological enzymes that exhibit high levels of functional evolutionary conservation throughout specific phyla and kingdoms. They are used by phylogeneticists as molecular markers to gauge evolutionary histories and relationships between different species of organisms. This can be done because allozymes do not have the same structure. They can be separated with capillary electrophoresis These enzymes generally perform very basic functions found commonly throughout all lifeforms, such as DNA polymerase, the enzyme that repairs and copies DNA. Significant changes in this enzyme reflect significant events in evolutionary history of organisms. As expected DNA polymerase shows relatively small differences in its amino acid sequence between phyla and even kingdoms.

Definition of allozyme in the English dictionary

The definition of allozyme in the dictionary is any one of a number of different structural forms of the same enzyme coded for by a different allele.
