Is it possible for a cell to have two or more isoenzymes catalyzing a biochemical reaction at the same time? For instance, we know that two alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) isoenzymes simultaneously catalyze opposite reactions. However, is it possible for two isozymes to simultaneously catalyze a same reaction (not opposite directions)? Since the kinetic characteristics of these isoforms are different, can we assume that a particular biochemical reaction is catalyzed by multiple isoenzymes at the same time? 

Thanks!
