• Definitions:
• A macromolecule, usually a protein, that functions as a (bio) catalyst by increasing the reaction rate. ...
• A protein molecule produced by living organisms able to catalyze, or facilitate, a specific chemical reaction involving other substances without itself being destroyed or changed in any way.
• Protein made by the body that brings about a chemical reaction, for example, the enzymes produced by the gut to aid digestion.
• A protein that acts as a catalyst in mediating and speeding a specific chemical reaction.
• a protein produced by cells to accelerate a specific chemical reaction without itself being altered. Enzymes are generally named by adding the ending "-ase" to the name of the substance on which the enzyme acts (for example, protease is an enzyme that acts on proteins).
• A protein that facilitates a specific chemical reaction.
• A protein that speeds up chemical processes and reactions in the body.
• a protein that acts as a catalyst for specific reactions
• Any of numerous proteins or conjugated proteins produced by living organisms and functioning as biochemical catalysts
• A protein that catalyzes a biochemical reaction.
• A protein that acts as a catalyst, affecting the rate at which chemical reactions occur in cells.
• A substance that speeds up chemical reaction. Every chemical reaction in living organisms is facilitated by an enzyme.
• A protein that acts as a catalyst, speeding the rate at which a biochemical reaction proceeds but not altering the direction or nature of the reaction.
• A catalyst that is produced by living cells to allow chemical reactions to take place in cells. Enzymes catalyze only specific types of chemical reactions, and only act on specific substances.
• A biomolecule, usually a protein, that catalyzes a chemical reaction, often speeding up the reaction.
• Organic substances (proteins) produced by living organisms and act as catalysts to speed up chemical changes.
• A protein in the body that helps a biological process go faster.
• Description: Protein that acts as a catalyst, accelerating biochemical reactions. Source: Specialized encyclopedia and dictionaries Description: Catalysator of a chemical reaction in a cell. Virtually all known enzymes are proteins. ...
• A protein produced by living organisms that promotes or otherwise influences chemical reactions.
• a protein made in the body and capable of changing a substance from one form to another
• (en´z=1m) A protein catalyst that increases the rate of specific chemical reactions.
• A protein that is formed to start a chemical reaction
• Whether in the form papain (papaya) or bromelain (pineapple), enzymes have long been used in their pure form as exfoliants. They work by dissolving the dead skin cells on the top layer of skin.
• One of many specific protein catalysts that initiate or speed chemical reactions in the body without being consumed.
• a naturally occurring substance able to catalyse a chemical reaction.
• 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. accelerate) chemical reactions. In these reactions, the molecules at the beginning of the process are called substrates, and the enzyme converts them into different molecules, the products. ...
