global properties of waves, including the system size-dependent standing

waves, resonance waves, wave interference patterns, superposition of

waves, etc., obeying the Fourier theorem, according to which any periodic

motions of molecules (or more generally all material objects) can be

derived from the vibrational motions of all their covalent and non-covalent

bonds [157, 160]. This idea is schematically explained in Figure 3.8.

3.2.5 Three Categories of Enzyme Catalyzes

There are three kinds of enzyme catalyzes that occur inside the living cell:

(i) scalar catalysis (e.g., ATP hydrolysis by isolated b-subunit of

F 1 -ATPase; see Figure 3.9);

(ii) translational catalysis (e.g., myosin ATPase moving along the actin

filament; see Figures 3.48 and 3.49);

(iii) rotary catalysis (e.g., the a 3 b 3 subcomplex; see Figure 3.12).

The number of active sites implicated in (i), (ii), and (iii) is 1, 2, and 3,

respectively (see Table 3.3). Interestingly, all of these three categories of

enzyme catalyses are involved in the mechanism of action of the F 0 F 1 –ATP

synthase as evident in Table 3.5; e.g., scalar catalysis = oxidation of

NADH; translational catalysis = proton pumping; rotary catalysis = proton-

gradient-driven rotation of the g-subunit of the F 0 F 1 –ATP synthase (see the

called conformational), chemical concentration, and electromagnetic waves in determining
