Peroxidase, usually derived from horseradish, is a common enzyme used in clinical testing reagents. It is widely used not only in several biochemical assays but also in immunoassay (ELISA) kits. As a...

If there were no restriction enzymes, what would be the development of molecular biology research today? For 40 years, restriction endonucleases, working behind the scenes, have quietly promoted many...

The proteome is the sequence identification and content analysis of all proteins in a living organism, but the information of PTM (post-translational modification) cannot be ignored. Phosphorylation...

An enzymatic reaction refers to a chemical reaction catalyzed by an enzyme as a catalyst. Factors that affect enzymatic reactions are temperature, pH, enzyme concentration, substrate concentration...

Starting from a cup of coffee or milk in the morning, it seems that a vital substance—enzyme, is inseparable from modern people's dining table. In fact, not only in the food and beverage industry, but...

1. Are probiotics bacteria? When it comes to bacteria, many people equate it with pathogenic bacteria and "sterilize" as much as possible. However, not all bacteria are harmful. There are many...

As a substance, catalase was first discovered in 1811 by Louis Jacques Thénard, the discoverer of hydrogen peroxide. In 1900, Oscar Loew named this enzyme capable of degrading hydrogen peroxide...

Almost all food industries use food additives in order to improve the quality of color, aroma, and taste and ensure the safety of products during their shelf life. Additives are added directly to the...

Every day, we are exposed to toxins in the environment, from the food and water we consume to the air we breathe and the products we use. Toxins are found in beauty products, household cleaners...

The World Health Organization (WHO) defines probiotics as live bacteria that can play a beneficial role in the health of consumers by ingesting an appropriate amount. This contains three...

Do you know when enzymes begin to be produced in the human body? The answer is that they existed during the egg and sperm period. It is also because of the activity of the enzyme that the egg and...

Polysaccharides are made by polymerizing more than 10 monosaccharide molecules through glycosidic bonds. The molecular weight of polysaccharides is relatively large, usually consisting of hundreds or...

Changes in the number of proteomes in a cell have a big effect on many aspects of life. For example, the occurrence and development of many diseases are often accompanied by abnormal expression of...

Lack of enzymes, especially lipase deficiency, may cause vascular problems such as cardiovascular disease and high blood pressure. If the lack of lipase occurs in certain parts of the body, it may...

Enzyme engineering is a technology in which enzymes or microbial cells, animal and plant cells, organelles, etc. are placed in a certain biological reaction device, and the corresponding raw materials...
