The enzyme must be specific for the protein since these differ in constitution. For a list of the EC numbers themselves, see: List of EC numbers (EC 1) List of EC numbers (EC 2) This page lists enzymes by their classification in the International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology's Enzyme Commission [EC] numbering system. For a list of the EC numbers themselves, see: Function: Amylase is an enzyme that is responsible for the breaking of the bonds in starches, polysaccharides, and complex carbohydrates to be turned into simple sugars that will be easier to absorb. Function: An enzyme that is produced by animals that forms part of the innate immune system and is abundant in the secretions of saliva, human milk, tears, and mucus.

Clinical Significance: People who are lactose intolerant have medicine that can help with the digestion. Top synonyms for enzymes (other words for enzymes) are enzyme, ferments and enzyme-containing. Enzymes synonyms. Clinical Significance: Amylase also has medical history in the use of Pancreatic Enzyme Replacement Therapy (PERT).

This is usually accomplished by an enzyme which is secreted by a ferment. This exchange appears to be aided by the presence of an enzyme in the lung tissues. By adding the enzyme maltase from yeast to a forty per cent. One of the components is Sollpura (liprotamase), which help in the breakdown of saccharides into simple sugars.

Here a similar action is caused by an enzyme called ptyalin. Find 66 synonyms for enzyme and other similar words that you can use instead based on 2 separate contexts from our thesaurus.
