An enzyme that catalyses the synthesis of RNA from a DNA template.
Industry:Biotechnology
An enzyme that catalyses the synthesis of short strands of RNA that initiate the synthesis of DNA strands.
Industry:Biotechnology
An enzyme that cleaves the peptide bonds between amino acids within a protein. Cleavage is usually at one or more specific sites.
Industry:Biotechnology
An enzyme that degrades hemicellulose to galactose; hemicellulase is available as a commercial product.
Industry:Biotechnology
An enzyme that digests DNA or RNA, beginning at the ends of strands. It requires a free end in order to degrade a DNA or RNA molecule. 5´ exonucleases require a free 5´ end and degrade the molecule in the 5´ to 3´ direction. 3´ exonucleases require a free 3´ end and degrade the molecule in the opposite direction.
Industry:Biotechnology
An enzyme that has two structurally distinct forms, one of which is active and the other inactive. Active forms of allosteric enzymes tend to catalyse the initial step in a pathway leading to the synthesis of molecules. The end product of this synthesis can act as a feedback inhibitor, converting the enzyme to the inactive form, thus controlling the amount of product synthesized.
Industry:Biotechnology
An enzyme that hydrolyses esters of phosphoric acid, removing a phosphate group from an organic compound.
Industry:Biotechnology
An enzyme that hydrolyzes proteins, cleaving the peptide bonds that link amino acids in protein molecules.
