in this article we will discuss about enzymes and its production on commercial scale. Enzyme is an organic catalyst formed by a living cell. Enzymes are mostly obtained from plant and animal cells. Now-a-days microorganisms are becoming excellent sources for industrial production of certain enzymes. Many microorganisms are known to excrete enzymes into their growth media during the fermentation processes [...]
In this article we will discuss about the classification of enzymes. The enzymes are classified by the reactions they catalyze by adding the "ase" to the name of their substrate or to a suffix word or phrase which is meant for their activity, e.g., urease which catalyzes the hydrolysis of urea, and DNA polymerase which catalyzes the synthesis of DNA. [...]
Everything you need to know about enzymes. Some of the most frequently asked questions are as follows:- Q.1. What is a cofactor in an enzyme? Ans: Some enzymes require chemical groups other than their amino acid residues for activity. A cofactor may be either one or more inorganic ions like Fe2+, Mg2+, Mn2+, or Zn2+ or a complex organic or [...]
