Enzyme

Science / Chemistry / Enzyme: Protein or protein-based molecules that speed up chemical reactions occurring in living things. Enzymes act as catalysts for a single reaction, converting a specific set of reactants (called substrates) into specific products. Without enzymes life as we know it would be impossible.

Endonuclease Restriction Enzyme

Science / Genetics / Endonuclease Restriction Enzyme: A protein that recognizes specific, short nucleotide sequences and cuts dna at those sites. Bacteria contain over 400 such enzymes that recognize and cut more than 100 different dna sequences. MORE
