4. ENZYMES
Enzymes are the biological catalyst
that catalyze the biochemical
reaction.
Break down proteins and
carbohydrates, and produce useful
products
Production of antibiotics, insulin,
and other pharmaceuticals, in food
processing, and in the production of
biofuels.
7. Food and beverages
Food and beverages to
improve the texture, flavor,
and color of products.
Used to break down
proteins into smaller
peptides and amino acids in
order to improve food
digestibility.
Used to break down fat
molecules, allowing for the
production of low-fat
products.
8. PHARMACEUTICAL IMPORTANCE
Enzymes are used to produce
pharmaceuticals such as
antibiotics, antivirals, and
anticancer drugs.
Enzymes are used to modify
proteins and other molecules
to make them more
effective.
Used to improve the
solubility, stability, and shelf
life of pharmaceuticals.
9. DISEASE CONTROL
Used to break down harmful
toxins and bacteria, preventing
them from causing disease.
Help the body in metabolizing
drugs and other substances,
aiding in the treatment of
various diseases.
Regulate the body’s immune
system, helping to protect
against infectious diseases.
10. DIAGNOSTICS
Used in diagnostics as they are
able to detect very small
amounts of analytes
Used to detect genetic
mutations that can help
diagnose certain diseases.
Used to detect the presence
of certain viruses and
bacteria, which can help
diagnose infectious diseases.
11. DNA AND GENETICS
Enzymes are essential to the
process of DNA replication.
Maintain the integrity of the
genetic material.
Enzymes are involved in the
transcription process.
Enzymes are involved in the
process of gene regulation.
13. BLOOD CLOTTING
Fibrinogen: Fibrinogen is a
protein structure that acts as a
scaffold to hold a blood clot
together.
Prothrombin: Prothrombin is an
enzyme that helps convert
fibrinogen into fibrin
Thrombin: Thrombin is an
enzyme that helps catalyze the
conversion of fibrinogen into
fibrin
14. BIOCATALYST
Enzymes are proteins that act
as biocatalysts.
Enzymes are highly specific
and can be used to catalyze
reactions
Enzymes work by binding to a
substrate,
15. BIOFUEL
Used to convert biomass
into usable fuel, such as
ethanol or biodiesel.
Enzymes are increasingly
being used in the
production of biofuels.
Enzymes are an
environmentally-friendly
alternative to traditional
fuel sources.
16. ANIMAL FEED
Highly stable and can be
used in a variety of feed
types, including grain,
forage, and silage.
Added directly to the feed
or mixed with other
ingredients.
