Peroxidase
Peroxidases (EC number 1.11.1.x) are a large family of enzymes that typically catalyze a reaction of the form:ROOR’ + electron donor (2 e-) + 2H+ → ROH + R’OHFor many […]
Cytochrome c
The cytochrome complex or cyt c is a small heme protein found loosely associated with the inner membrane of the mitochondrion. It belongs to the cytochrome c family of proteins. […]
Myoglobin
Myoglobin is an iron- and oxygen-binding protein found in the muscle tissue of vertebrates in general and in almost all mammals. It is related to hemoglobin which is the iron- […]
Alcohol dehydrogenase
Alcohol dehydrogenases (ADH) (EC 1.1.1.1) are a group of dehydrogenase enzymes that occur in many organisms and facilitate the interconversion between alcohols and aldehydes or ketones with the reduction of […]
Beta-galactosidase
Beta-galactosidase β-galactosidase also called beta-gal or β-gal is a hydrolase enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of β-galactosides into monosaccharides. Substrates of different β-galactosidases include ganglioside GM1 lactosylceramides lactose and various […]
Chymosin
Chymosin or rennin is a protease found in rennet. It is produced by newborn ruminant animals in the lining of the fourth stomach to curdle the milk they ingest allowing […]
Bacteriocin
Bacteriocins are proteinaceous toxins produced by bacteria to inhibit the growth of similar or closely related bacterial strain(s). They are typically considered to be narrow spectrum antibiotics though this has […]
Amylase
Amylase /ˈæmɪleɪz/ is an enzyme that catalyses the hydrolysis of starch into sugars. Amylase is present in the saliva of humans and some other mammals where it begins the chemical […]
Reelin
Reelin is a large secreted extracellular matrix glycoprotein that helps regulate processes of neuronal migration and positioning in the developing brain by controlling cell–cell interactions. Besides this important role in […]
