BIOLOGICAL ROLES OF ENZYMES | MARTINS LIBRARY

First what are enzymes? Enzymes are large biological molecules responsible for the thousands of chemical interconvertion that sustain life. They work by binding to one or more specific molecules called reactants or substrates Wenger D.A., Rafi M.A. Luzip, Datto J., Constantino-Ceccarini E. Krabb disease, genetic aspect and progress toward therapy. Mol.genet metab. 2000 May, 70(f) 1-9.

Today in the world as the case of be in medical sciences, the use of enzymes in the diagnosis of disease is one of the important benefits derived from the intensive research in biochemistry since the 1940.

Enzymes have provided the basis for the field of clinical chemistry. It is however only in the recent past few decades that interest in diagnostic enzymology has multiplied.

In an industries genetic engineering, scientists have began putting genes that makes up enzymes from human being into food crops in a dramatic extension of genetic modification. The move which is causing disgust and revision among critics, is bound to strengthen accusations that GM technology is crating “Frankenstein foods and drive the controversy surrounding it to new heights.

Note: In the industry and practical examination by the scientist enzymes are proteins that participate in cellular metabolic processes with ability to enhance the rate of reaction between biomolecules.
