Enzyme Substrate Complex |
enzyme–substrate complex The intermediate formed when a substratemolecule interacts with the active site of an enzyme. Following the formation of an enzyme–substrate complex, the substrate molecule undergoes a chemical reaction and is converted into a new product. |
|
Proteases |
an enzyme that breaks down proteins and peptides |
|
Peptidases |
A protease (also called peptidase or proteinase) is any enzyme that performs proteolysis, that is, begins protein catabolism by hydrolysis of the peptide bonds that link amino acids together in a polypeptide chain |
|
Amylases |
any of a group of enzymes (as amylopsin) that catalyze the hydrolysis of starch and glycogen or their intermediate hydrolysis products. |
|
Cellulases |
Any of several enzymes produced chiefly by fungi, bacteria, and protozoans that catalyze the hydrolysis of cellulose. cellulase in Science Expand. cellulase. (sěl'yə-lās') Any of several enzymes produced chiefly by fungi, bacteria, and protozoans that catalyze the breakdown of cellulose |
|
Maltase |
an enzyme, present in saliva and pancreatic juice, that catalyzes the breakdown of maltose and similar sugars to form glucose. |
|
DNA Polymerase |
The DNA polymerases are enzymes that create DNA molecules by assembling nucleotides, the building blocks of DNA |
|
Protease |
an enzyme that breaks down proteins and peptides. |
|
Lipase |
a pancreatic enzyme that catalyzes the breakdown of fats to fatty acids and glycerol or other alcohols |
|
Enzyme |
a substance produced by a living organism that acts as a catalyst to bring about a specific biochemical reaction |
