- Any of several complex proteins that are produced by cells and act as catalysts in specific biochemical reactions
- Enzymes are proteins that catalyze (i.e., increase the rates of) chemical reactions. In enzymatic reactions, the molecules at the beginning of the process are called substrates, and the enzyme converts them into different molecules, called the products. ...
- A globular protein that catalyses a biological chemical reaction
- (Enzymes) Naturally occurring chemical substances in the human body that help a chemical reaction take place.
- (Enzymes) Any of numerous proteins or conjugated proteins produced by living organisms and functioning as biochemical catalysts in living organisms.
- (Enzymes) Complex compounds released by bacteria during the cheesemaking process that help to break down proteins (proteolytic) or fats (lipolytic). Some enzymes in cheese originate from milk; others such as rennet are added to milk during cheesemaking. ...
- (Enzymes) proteins that catalyze chemical reactions in living cells.
- (Enzymes) Proteins that help initiate or accelerate certain chemical processes in the body. People with CF have thick mucus that often blocks the ducts or tubes through which pancreatic enzymes flow. This can make it difficult to breakdown and absorb food/nutrients properly.
- (Enzymes) Biodegradable proteins which break-down oils, films and digest scum in spa water.
