Hindu concept of 'Enzyme'
From: Journal of Ayurveda and Integrated Medical Sciences
(1) Enzyme is required for the proper structure and biological activity of sulphur, and plays a major role in the electron transport system. It also stimulates immune cells.[1] (2) These are biological molecules that speed up chemical reactions, and the text mentions that they are found in snake venom and contribute to its effects.[2]
From: Journal of Ayurvedic and Herbal Medicine
(1) Certain compounds in plants, like papain and others from papaya and pineapple, possess potent anthelmintic activity against parasites, as stated in the text.[3]
The concept of Enzyme in scientific sources
From: International Journal of Pharmacology
(1) Ganoderma lucidum contains various enzymes, such as metalloprotease, which have specific biological functions.[4] (2) Biological catalysts that can experience decreased specific activity during the aging process.[5] (3) Enzymes, along with proteases, are released from fibroblasts during inflammation, leading to the degradation of the articular matrix and cartilage.[6] (4) Molecules like enzymes can be damaged by the pathological accumulation of free radicals.[7] (5) Enzymes play a role in metabolizing free radicals or their precursors, contributing to cellular defense.[8]
From: The Malaysian Journal of Medical Sciences
(1) These are substances that speed up chemical reactions in the body, and the mitochondrion matrix is the site for a number of these and for production of reactive oxygen species (ROS).[9] (2) Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up biochemical reactions, and the text focuses on identifying and analyzing specific enzymes within metabolic pathways as potential drug targets.[10] (3) These are biological catalysts that speed up chemical reactions in the body, and may contribute to the disruption of the extracellular matrix of membranes, potentially contributing to PROM.[11] (4) This is a protein that catalyzes a specific biochemical reaction, such as the NS3 protease.[12]
From: Journal of Medicinal Plants for Economic Development
(1) Proteins that catalyze biochemical reactions in cells, and these enzymes can be inactivated by certain compounds found in plant extracts.[13]
From: Onderstepoort Journal of Veterinary Research
(1) Enzyme is a protein that acts as a catalyst to speed up a specific biochemical reaction, such as the CYP enzymes that metabolize diclofenac.[14]
From: International Journal of Pharmacology
(1) When added to maize silage, these substances can influence chemical composition and in vitro gas production.[15] (2) Enzymes are biological catalysts, typically proteins, that speed up specific biochemical reactions within cells.[16] (3) Enzymes are biological catalysts that play critical roles in metabolic pathways, including gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis, and their activity can be modulated by various compounds.[17] (4) Enzymes are biological catalysts whose activity concentrations in serum are determined using reference procedures for clinical chemistry.[18] (5) Proteins found in venoms that catalyze specific biochemical reactions, such as phospholipases and hyaluronidase, contributing to the overall effects of the venom.[19]
From: Sustainability Journal (MDPI)
(1) Biological molecules secreted through the root system of the plant, which aid in the degradation of the coconut fiber substrate.[20]
