Abstract

Isozymes or isoenzymes are multiple molecular forms of an enzyme that perform the same catalytic function but differ in their biochemical, structural and electrophoretic properties. These variants of isoenzymes are of great importance to population genetics studies and evolutionary studies. Isozyme variation has been studied in a large and diverse group of flies of the family Muscidae. Isozyme studies have been used to explore polymorphism, seasonal, temporal and spatial genetic variations. This review emphasizes the relevance of isozyme analysis in understanding genetic, spatial and environmental diversity in Muscid flies offering a road map for future research.
