Glosses:
enzyme
n. (substance)1. enzymeany of several complex proteins that are produced by cells and act as catalysts in specific biochemical reactions.
~ active sitethe part of an enzyme or antibody where the chemical reaction occurs.
~ ada, adenosine deaminasean enzyme found in mammals that can catalyze the deamination of adenosine into inosine and ammonia.; "ADA deficiency can lead to one form of severe combined immunodeficiency disease"; "the gene encoding ADA was one of the earlier human genes to be isolated and cloned for study"
~ catalyst, accelerator(chemistry) a substance that initiates or accelerates a chemical reaction without itself being affected.
~ proteinany of a large group of nitrogenous organic compounds that are essential constituents of living cells; consist of polymers of amino acids; essential in the diet of animals for growth and for repair of tissues; can be obtained from meat and eggs and milk and legumes.; "a diet high in protein"
~ amylaseany of a group of proteins found in saliva and pancreatic juice and parts of plants; help convert starch to sugar.
~ cholinesterasean enzyme that hydrolyses acetylcholine (into choline and acetic acid).
~ coagulasean enzyme that induces coagulation.
~ collagenaseany enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of collagen and gelatin.
~ complementone of a series of enzymes in the blood serum that are part of the immune response.
~ catalaseenzyme found in most plant and animal cells that functions as an oxidative catalyst; decomposes hydrogen peroxide into oxygen and water.
~ cox, cyclooxygenaseeither of two related enzymes that control the production of prostaglandins and are blocked by aspirin.
~ decarboxylaseany of the enzymes that hydrolize the carboxyl group.
~ de-iodinasean enzyme that removes the iodine radical.

~ enterokinaseenzyme in the intestinal juice that converts inactive trypsinogen into active trypsin.
~ histaminaseenzyme that acts as a catalyst in converting histidine to histamine.
~ hyaluronidase, hyazyme, spreading factoran enzyme (trade name Hyazyme) that splits hyaluronic acid and so lowers its viscosity and increases the permeability of connective tissue and the absorption of fluids.
~ isomerasean enzyme that catalyzes its substrate to an isomeric form.
~ kinasean enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of a proenzyme to an active enzyme.
~ lipasean enzyme secreted in the digestive tract that catalyzes the breakdown of fats into individual fatty acids that can be absorbed into the bloodstream.
~ lysozyme, muramidasean enzyme found in saliva and sweat and tears that destroys the cell walls of certain bacteria.
~ mao, monoamine oxidasean enzyme that catalyzes the oxidation of many body compounds (e.g., epinephrine and norepinephrine and serotonin).
~ nitrogenasean enzyme of nitrogen-fixing microorganisms that catalyzes the conversion of nitrogen to ammonia.
~ nucleasegeneral term for enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of nucleic acid by cleaving chains of nucleotides into smaller units.
~ oxidaseany of the enzymes that catalyze biological oxidation.
~ oxidoreductasean enzyme that catalyzes oxidation-reduction.
~ papaina proteolytic enzyme obtained from the unripe papaya; used as a meat tenderizer.
~ beta-lactamase, penicillinaseenzyme produced by certain bacteria that inactivates penicillin and results in resistance to that antibiotic.
~ pepsinan enzyme produced in the stomach that splits proteins into peptones.
~ pepsinogenprecursor of pepsin; stored in the stomach walls and converted to pepsin by hydrochloric acid in the stomach.
~ phosphataseany of a group of enzymes that act as a catalyst in the hydrolysis of organic phosphates.

~ reductasean enzyme that catalyses the biochemical reduction of some specified substance.
~ chymosin, renninan enzyme that occurs in gastric juice; causes milk to coagulate.
~ secretasea set of enzymes believed to snip pieces off a longer protein producing fragments of amyloid protein that bunch up and create amyloid protein plaques in brain tissue (the pathological hallmark of Alzheimer's).
~ streptodornasean enzyme produced by some hemolytic strains of streptococcus that dissolves fibrinous secretions from infections; used medicinally (often in combination with streptokinase).
~ streptokinasean enzyme produced by some strains of streptococcus that can liquefy blood clots by converting plasminogen to plasmin; used medicinally in some cases of myocardial infarction and pulmonary embolism.
~ superoxide dismutase, sodan enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of superoxide into hydrogen peroxide and oxygen.; "oxygen free radicals are normally removed in our bodies by the superoxide dismutase enzymes"
~ telomerasean enzyme in eukaryotic cells that can add telomeres to the ends of chromosomes after they divide.
~ transferaseany of various enzymes that move a chemical group from one compound to another compound.
