Enzymology / Enzyme Technology / Biocatalyst

Enzymology is the scientific discipline that delves into the study of enzymes, their kinetics, structures, and functions, as well as their interrelationships. Enzymes have found widespread applications in various industrial processes. Enzyme technology, on the other hand, focuses on the study of industrial enzymes and their diverse uses. A catalyst is a substance that facilitates chemical reactions by altering its own properties. Biocatalytic processes employ living systems, commonly referred to as enzymes, or their components, to accelerate chemical transformations on organic compounds.
