Basic Concepts in Enzymology

Description

The study of enzymes is the focus of the scientific field of enzymology. Researchers in this area can use their expertise in various ways, from creating drugs intended to restore the body's missing enzymes to discovering new applications for enzymes in manufacturing. Proteins are called enzymes to catalyze chemical processes. The molecules at the start of an enzymatic reaction are referred to as substrates, and the enzyme changes them into new molecules, referred to as products. Enzymes are essential for almost all biological cell activities to proceed effectively. The use of enzymes in industrial processes, applications of enzymes for biosensors and diagnostics, animal feeds, baking, brewing, cheese, protein hydrolysis, detergent, effluent treatment, flavors, fruit processing, and many other topics are covered in this book in an efficient and industrially oriented manner.
