Killer enzymes" or "anti-enzymes enzymes", enzymes that inactivate other enzymes. Of course proteases come immediately to mind. Also sulfhydrvl oxidase for -SH enzymes. Other specific enzymes aic possible. 

Enzyme Enzymes are endogenous catalysts converting one or several substrates into one or several products. 

Optically inactive starting materials can give optically active products only if they are treated with an optically active reagent or if the reaction is catalyzed by an optically active substance The best examples are found m biochemical processes Most bio chemical reactions are catalyzed by enzymes Enzymes are chiral and enantiomerically homogeneous they provide an asymmetric environment m which chemical reaction can take place Ordinarily enzyme catalyzed reactions occur with such a high level of stereo selectivity that one enantiomer of a substance is formed exclusively even when the sub strate is achiral The enzyme fumarase for example catalyzes hydration of the double bond of fumaric acid to malic acid m apples and other fruits Only the S enantiomer of malic acid is formed m this reaction...

Bulk Enzymes. Enzymes such as proteases, amylases, glucose isomerases, and rennin are used in food processing. Similarly proteases and Hpases are used in detergents. CeUulases and xylanases are used in the paper pulp industry. The genes for most of the enzymes used in the various commercial processes have been cloned and overexpressed. Rennin (chymosin) produced from E. coli and A. nigerhas been approved by FDA for use in the dairy industry.

In a biocatalytic biosensor the molecular recognition component is an enzyme. Enzymes, macromolecular catalysts that are manufactured by plants and animals, affect the rates of biochemical reactions. Virtually all of the millions of chemical reactions involved in Hfe processes have associated enzymes controlling the rates. CoUectively, there are several thousand enzymes known and perhaps many thousand more yet to be discovered. 

Early Industrial Enzymes. Enzymes were used in ancient Greece for the production of cheese (9). Early references to this are found in Greek epic poems dating from about 800 BC. Fermentation processes for brewing, baking, and the production of alcohol have been known since prehistoric times. 

Hydrolases represent a significant class of therapeutic enzymes [Enzyme Commission (EC) 3.1—3.11] (14) (Table 1). Another group of enzymes with pharmacological uses has budt-ia cofactors, eg, in the form of pyridoxal phosphate, flavin nucleotides, or zinc (15). The synthases, and other multisubstrate enzymes that require high energy phosphates, are seldom available for use as dmgs because the required co-substrates are either absent from the extracellular space or are present ia prohibitively low coaceatratioas. 

Many reactions that take place slowly under ordinary conditions occur readily in living organisms in the presence of catalysts called enzymes. Enzymes are protein molecules of high molar mass. An example of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction is the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide ...

A biochemical catalyst is called an enzyme. Enzymes are specialized proteins that catalyze specific biochemical reactions. Some enzymes are found in extracellular fluids such as saliva and gastric juices, but most are found inside cells. Each type of cell has a different array of enzymes that act together to determine what role the cell plays in the overall biochemistry of the organism. Enzymes are complicated molecules. Biochemists have determined the molecular structures of some enzymes, but the structures of many enzymes are not yet known.

In the second group, the reaction is promoted by enzymes. Enzymes are the catalyst proteins produced by microorganisms that accelerate chemical reactions in microorganisms. The biochemical reactions employing enzymes are of the general form ... 

Spin labeled 5 -deoxyadenosylcobinamide has been used as a cofactor for ethanolamine-ammonia-lyase and the ESR spectrum followed during catalysis (123). This spin labeled coenzyme is biologically active in this enzyme. Enzyme kinetics showed this derivative to have the same Vmax as the cofactor 5 -deoxyadenosylcobinamide, but it has a higher Km value of 5.1 X 10-6 M compared to 4.6 X 10-6 for 5 -deoxyadenosylcobinamide (123). When the spin labeled coenzyme was incubated with apoenzyme to give the enzyme-coenzyme complex, the nitroxide ESR spectrum resembled that of free spin label but the lines are broadened significantly.

Compared with isolated enzymes, enzymes used in whole-cell biotransformations are often more stable due to the presence of their natural environment inside the cell. This is especially true for the enzymes involved in the oxidation and hydroxylation reactions that are labile once isolated from the cells. They are a convenient and stable source of enzymes that are often synthesized by cells in response to the presence of the substrate.

Antibody molecules have no inherent characteristic that facilitates their direct detection in immunoassays. A second important step in developing a successful immunoassay, therefore, involves the incorporation of a suitable marker . The marker serves to facilitate the rapid detection and quantification of antibody-antigen binding. Earlier immunoassay systems used radioactive labels as a marker (radioimmunoassay RIA) although immunoassay systems using enzymes (enzyme immunoassays EIA) subsequently have come to the fore. Yet additional immunoassay systems use alternative markers including fluorescent or chemiluminescent tags. 

Electron Transfer Type of Dehydrogenase Sensors To fabricate an enzyme sensor for fructose, we found that a molecular interface of polypyrrole was not sufficient to realize high sensitivity and stability. We thus incorporated mediators (ferricyanide and ferrocene) in the enzyme-interface for the effective and the most sensitive detection of fructose in two different ways (l) two step method first, a monolayer FDH was electrochemically adsorbed on the electrode surface by electrostatic interaction, then entrapment of mediator and electro-polymerization of pyrrole in thin membrane was simultaneously performed in a separate solution containing mediator and pyrrole, (2) one-step method co-immobilization of mediator and enzyme and polymerization of pyrrole was simultaneously done in a solution containing enzyme enzyme, mediator and pyrrole as illustrated in Fig.22. 

Based on these results, several different commercial and experimental protease samples were obtained from enzyme companies and were tested for starch yield using the enzymatic corn wet milling process (Figure 3). Two commercial protease enzymes (enzymes A and C) gave starch yields comparable to the conventionally wet milled sample. Pasting properties, residual protein in starch, and surface characteristics of starch samples obtained from...
