Enzymes

Enzymes are biological catalysts that accelerate chemical reactions in living organisms. They are proteins with highly specific structures that enable them to facilitate biochemical processes without being consumed in the reaction. Enzymes play a vital role in maintaining life by regulating processes such as digestion, metabolism, and DNA replication.

Enzymes are widely used in various industries due to their efficiency, specificity, and eco-friendly nature. In the pharmaceutical industry, they are used for drug synthesis, biocatalysis, and the production of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). For instance, enzymes can enable stereoselective synthesis, leading to higher yields of chiral compounds, which are essential for many medications.

Apart from healthcare, enzymes find applications in food and beverage production (e.g., brewing and baking), detergents, textiles, and biofuels. Industrial enzymes are often engineered or immobilized to enhance their stability and activity, making them more effective in large-scale production.

Enzyme production involves processes like fermentation using microorganisms or extraction from natural sources. With advancements in biotechnology, recombinant DNA technology and protein engineering have enabled the development of customized enzymes for specific applications.
