Simple Proteinases and Conjugated Proteases Proteins are divided into simple proteins and combined proteins. Similarly, according to chemical composition, enzymes can also be divided into two major...

Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is a glycoprotein synthesized and secreted by parenchymal cells such as adipocytes, cardiomyocytes, skeletal muscle cells, mammary cells, and macrophages, with a molecular...

Ascorbate oxidase is a copper-containing enzyme, located in the cytoplasm or combined with the cell wall, and coupled with other redox reactions to act as a terminal oxidase. It can catalyze the...

Why does the cut surface of apples, pears, bananas or potatoes turn pale brown when we cut them? The reason is that some of the chemicals in the pulp components are oxidized to a light brown product...

The integration of enzymes in animal feed has been an innovative step forward in the quest for optimizing animal nutrition, promoting health, and reducing environmental impact. With an increasing...

Enzymes are biological molecules that play a crucial role in various biochemical reactions within living organisms. They act as catalysts, which means they speed up the rate of chemical reactions...

Probiotics are a type of active microorganisms that play a role by improving the balance of the host's intestinal microflora. They can produce definite health effects to improve the host's...

Glucose Isomerase (GI), also known as xylose isomerase, is a remarkable enzyme that holds a critical place in modern industrial biotechnology. This enzyme is used extensively to convert glucose into...

Probiotics are living microorganisms that offer numerous health benefits when consumed in adequate amounts. These beneficial bacteria can be found in various fermented foods such as yogurt, kefir...

Probiotics and prebiotics have attracted much attention because of their functions in regulating the intestinal microecological balance and improving the immune function of the body. The mass consumer...

Lipase (EC 3.1.1.3), the full name of triacylglycerol hydrolase, is a class of biological enzymes that can hydrolyze long-chain fatty acid glycerides into fatty acids and monoglycerides, diglycerides...

As biocatalysts, enzymes and general catalysts are the same in many respects. For example, the amount is small but the catalytic efficiency is high. Like general catalysts, enzymes can only change the...

The optimum pH of cellulase is generally 4.5 to 6.5, which acts on cellulose and products derived from cellulose. Microbial cellulase is of great significance in converting insoluble cellulose into...

Glucosidase is a large class of enzymes in glycoside hydrolase (EC 3.2.1). It is named because it can hydrolyze the glucoside bond and release a molecule of glucose. Glucosidase has a wide range of...

There are two types of enzymes produced by biological cells: one type of enzymes that are produced inside the cell and then secreted outside the cell for action, called extracellular enzymes. Most of...
