Enzymes

For Enzymes we have terms and definitions in 14 topics. The topics are Beer Brewing, Biology, Bodybuilding, Cancer, Carpet, Cholesterol, Clinical Trials, Diabetes, Food Preservation, HIV and AIDs, Health, Hepatitis B, Pool and Spa and Vitamins.



Enzymes (Beer Brewing)

Orgainic compounds which facilitate various reactions. The enzymes which are most important in brewing are amylase enzymes (which convert starches into sugars), and proteolytic enzymes (which break complex proteins down into simpler proteins and amino acids).


Enzymes (Biology)

  1. Proteins that catalyze the chemical reactions within cells.

Enzymes (Bodybuilding)

Proteins necessary to bring about bio-chemical reactions.


Enzymes (Cancer)

Proteins that play a part in specific chemical reactions

Enzymes (Carpet)

A large class of complex protein molecules that encourage biochemical reactions (digestion). Amylase and protease enzymes are the type most frequently encountered in the textile cleaning industry, primarily as spotters or deodorants. Enzymes are most effective in neutral environments, at moderate temperatures, and after a dwell time in excess of twenty (20) minutes.

Enzymes (Cholesterol)

Proteins that act as a catalysts in mediating and speeding a specific chemical reaction .

Enzymes (Clinical Trials)

A protein that speeds up chemical reactions in the body.


Enzymes (Diabetes)

A special type of protein. Enzymes help the body's chemistry work better and more quickly. Each enzyme usually has its own chemical job to do such as helping to change starch into glucose (sugar).

Enzymes (Food Preservation)

Proteins in food which accelerate many flavor, color,
texture and nutritional changes, especially when food is
cut, sliced, crushed, bruised and exposed to air. Proper
blanching or hot packing practices destroy enzymes and
improve food quality.


Enzymes (HIV and AIDs)

Proteins that act as catalysts, speeding the rate at which biochemical reactions proceed but not altering the direction or nature of the reactions.


Enzymes (Health)

Proteins that regulate chemical reactions in the body.


See more Health Terms ...

Enzymes (Hepatitis B)

Naturally occurring chemical substances in the human body that help a chemical reaction take place.


Enzymes (Pool and Spa)

Organic agents that hasten the natural breakdown (digestion) or decomposition of oily wastes and organic residues in pools and spas.


Enzymes (Vitamins)

A type of protein produced in the body from other ingredients that works as a biochemical catalyst for the reactions of other substances. (See also Catalyst and Coenzymes).
