Enzymes

Enzymes are biological molecules (typically proteins) that significantly speed up the rate of of the chemical reactions that take place within living organisms. In their function as Biocatalysts they are essential for life on our planet earth and play important role such as aiding in digestion and metabolism.

They can help break large molecules into smaller pieces that are more easily absorbed by the human body or animals. Other enzymes help bind two molecules together to produce a new molecule with new functions. Enzymes can act highly selective, by only speeding up a single specific reaction. All these properties make Enzymes as a useful tool like a Swiss Army knife for many industrial and scientific applications.

Enzymes involved in the degradation of Proteins are called Proteases, peptidases or in general proteolytic enzymes. Proteases catalyze hydrolysis of peptide bonds in proteins and due to their technological and economical advantage they are of the most widely used industrial enzymes in our daily life. They are found in a wide diversity of sources such as plants, animals and microorganisms.

Protease Sources

Plant
Papain, Bromelain, Ficin, etc.
Animal
Trypsin, Chymotrypsin, Pancreatin, Pepsin, etc.
Microbial
Endoproteinase, Substilisin, Thermolysin, etc.

These hydrolytic enzymes are efficiently used in different industrial applications in food, feed and pharmaceuticals. As an example they are enhancing nutritional value, digestibility, palatability, flavor and reducing the allergenic compounds like gluten.

Industrial and widely used commercialized proteolytic enzymes are usually mixtures of endopeptidases and exopeptidases.
