- AS Enzyme summary
- Carbohydrase (amylase, maltase, sucrase and lactase)
- Function (substrate/product)
- Carbohydrase is an enzyme that catalyzes the breakdown of carbohydrates into simple sugars.
- Where found
- Carbohydrases are produced in the pancreas but act in the stomach breaking down carbohydrates, they also are released in the salivary glands and in the small intestines
- Relevant topics
- Digestive system
- Function (substrate/product)
- Lipase
- Function
- lipase is an enzyme that catalyses the hydrolysis of fats (lipids),
- Lipases perform essential roles in the digestion, transport and processing of dietary lipids (e.g. triglycerides, fats, oils) in most, if not all, living organisms.
- lipase is an enzyme that catalyses the hydrolysis of fats (lipids),
- Where found
- Lipase is primarily produced in the pancreas but is also in the mouth and stomach
- Relevant topics
- Digestive system
- Function
- Protease
- Function
- A protease (also called peptidase or proteinase) is any enzyme that performs proteolysis, that is, begins protein catabolism by hydrolysis of the peptide bonds that link amino acids together in a polypeptide chain.
- Where found
- protease is released from the pancreas and breaks down proteins in your stomach
- Relevant topics
- Function
- DNA ligase
- Function
- DNA ligase facilitates the joining of DNA strands together by catalyzing the formation of a phosphodiester bond.
- Where found
- Found in the nucleus
- Relevant topics
- Replication of DNA
- In vivo cloning
- Function
- DNA polymerase
- Function
- The main function of DNA polymerase is to make DNA from nucleotides.
- There are several forms of DNA polymerase that play a role in DNA replication and they usually work in pairs to copy one molecule of double-stranded DNA into two new double stranded DNA molecules.
- The main function of DNA polymerase is to make DNA from nucleotides.
- Where found
- Found in the nucleus
- Relevant topics
- Replication of DNA
- In vitro cloning
- PCR
- Function
- DNA helicase
- Function
- DNA helicase continues to unwind the DNA forming a structure called the replication fork during replication
- Where found
- Within the nucleus
- Relevant topics
- Replication of DNA
- Function
- Penicillinase
- Function
- hydrolyze and inactivate penicillin and are used in medicine to treat allergic reactions to penicillin
- Where found
- the cytoplasm of bacteria cells
- Relevant topics
- Antibiotic resistance
- Gene transmission
- Function
- Carbohydrase (amylase, maltase, sucrase and lactase)
