Biocatalysts and Enzyme Technology

Enzymes are proteins that speed-up metabolism and chemical reactions that occur inside the human bodies. These proteins build or create some substances, while others are broken down. Enzyme technology refers to the branch of industrial biotechnology which encompasses biocatalysis, fundamental and applied enzymology, molecular modeling, structural biology, and diagnostics. The application of whole cells or isolated enzymes, as catalysts in organic reactions is termed as biocatalysis. The mat...
