Pattern of antigen antibody reactions

Enzymes are biological catalysts (also known as biocatalysts) that speed up biochemical reactions in living organisms, and which can be extracted from cells and then used to catalyse a wide range of commercially important processes. This work covers the basic principles of enzymology, such as classification, structures, kinetics and inhibition and also provides an overview of industrial applications. In addition, techniques for the purification of enzymes are discussed.
