An independent regulatory agency is a regulatory agency that is independent from other branches or arms of the government. Regulatory agencies deal in the area of administrative law &mdash regulation or rulemaking codifying and enforcing rules and regulations and imposing supervision or oversight for the benefit of the public at large . The existence of independent regulatory agencies is justified by the complexity of certain regulatory and supervisory tasks that require expertise, the need for rapid implementation of public authority in certain sectors, and the drawbacks of political interference. Some independent regulatory agencies perform investigations or audit s, and some are authorized to fine the relevant parties and order certain measures. Regulatory agencies are usually a part of the Executive government executive branch of the government, or they have statutory authority to perform their functions with oversight from the legislative branch.

Similarly, any documentation associated with followup changes to approved products or reporting of field issues must be translated for countries that require it. ref Regulations for Medical Devices and the Role of Guidance Documents in Europe http www.emergogroup.com articles how europe regulates devices ref Aside from linguistic skills, regulatory translation requires specific training and subject matter knowledge in order to translate medical and regulatory content.

Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 Cleanup date August 2009 A regulatory enzyme is an enzyme in a biochemical metabolic pathway pathway which, through its responses to the presence of certain other biomolecules , regulates the pathway s activity. This is usually done for pathways whose products may be needed in different amounts at different times, such as hormone production. Regulatory enzymes exist at high concentrations low Vmax so its activity can be increased or decreased with changes in substrate concentrations. Regulatory enzymes are of two types Allosteric enzymes and covalently modulated enzymes. The allosteric enzymes has two binding sites. One of the binding sites is for the substrate of the enzyme, the other site is for small molecules called effectors which modulates the enzymes activity.effectors are non covalently linked to the enzyme at its allosteric site site of enzyme where the effector binds and its interaction with the enzyme is reversible. Based on modulation, allosteric enzymes can be grouped into two groups 1.homotropic allosteric enzyme and 2.heterotropic allosteric enzymes. In the homotropic allosteric enzyme both the substrate and the effector plays part in the modulation of the enzyme, which in turn affects the enzyme catalytic activity. In the heterotropic form it is only the effector that performs the role of modulation.at this junction the allosteric site of the enzyme could range from one monovalent or from two and above polyvalent . Usually regulatory enzyme starts the catalysis of multienzyme reaction e.g. gycolysis, fat synthesis e.t.c.An example of an allosteric enzyme is Aspartate transcarbamoylase.

Regulatory requirements are part of the process of drug discovery and drug development . Regulatory requirements describe what is necessary for a new drug to be approved for marketing in any particular country. In the US, it is the function of the Food and Drug Administration FDA to establish these regulatory requirements. The European Medicines Agency EMA and Japanese Japan Ministry of Health Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency PMDA are also important regulatory authorities in drug development. These three agencies oversee the three largest markets for drug sales. Historically, the various regulatory authorities have had their own methods for obtaining regulatory approval, however the rising cost of meeting the demands of differing regulations led to the establishment of an International Conference on Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Registration of Pharmaceuticals for Human Use ICH in an attempt to co ordinate and synthesize international regulatory requirements. The first Conference was held in Brussels in 1991, followed by ICH 2 in Orlando, Florida in 1993, and ICH 3 in Yokohama , Japan in 1995. The Fourth International Conference on Harmonisation, in July 1997, was once again in Brussels. These systems of new drug approvals are extremely rigorous and costly.

Other types may be signs located on streets and in parking lots having to do with parking, signs in public parks and on beaches or on or in architectural facilities prohibiting specific types of activities. The term regulatory sign describes a range of signs that are used to indicate or reinforce traffic laws , regulations or requirements which apply either at all times or at specified times or places upon a street or highway , the disregard of which may constitute a violation, or signs in general that regulate public behavior in places open to the public.
