Enzymology and Enzyme Engineering

Enzymology and Enzyme Engineering Overview

Enzymes are regulators of systemic processes in living organisms. They are able to speed up and regulate chemical processes and system metabolism without being disturbed in the process. Enzymes serve as catalysts in cell functions such as respiration and digestion where nutrient molecules are broken down into smaller bits, and in DNA replication. In animals, certain enzyme deficiency leads to a build-up of toxins that affect normal organ function. This is inheritable. Albinism is a typical example. In crop production on the other hand, enzyme deficiency leads to inability of soil microorganisms to break down organic matter which affects soil fertility and its ability to support plant growth.

Enzymology deals with the study of enzymes; their structure, function and distribution within a living system. It forms the basis for enzyme technology which deals with the application of technology in altering the structure of isolated enzymes for utilization in other processes like manufacturing across industries. The ability to function as catalysts makes enzymes a component of manufacturing food items like bread, beer, and wine produced through fermentation. Enzymes activate and speed up the fermentation process. Considering that the application of enzymes in industrial processes has a huge growth potential, Tengrain Science is actively involved in providing collaborative research spaces for innovations.
