First what are enzymes? Enzymes are large biological molecules responsible for the
thousands of chemical interconvertion that sustain life. They work by binding
to one or more specific molecules called reactants or substrates Wenger D.A., Rafi

aspect and progress toward therapy. Mol.genet metab. 2000 May, 70(f) 1-9.
Today in the world as the case of be in medical sciences, the use of enzymes in the
diagnosis of disease is one of the important benefits derived from the intensive
research in biochemistry since the 1940.
Enzymes have
provided the basis for the field of clinical chemistry. It is however only in the recent past few decades that
interest in diagnostic enzymology has
multiplied.
In an industries genetic engineering, scientists have began putting
genes that
makes up enzymes from human being into food crops in a dramatic extension of genetic
modification. The move which is causing disgust and revision among
critics, is bound to strengthen accusations that GM technology is crating "Frankenstein foods and
drive the controversy surrounding it to new heights.
Note: In the industry and
practical examination by the scientist enzymes are proteins that participate in cellular
metabolic processes with ability to enhance the
rate of reaction between biomolecules.
