Enzymes accelerate, or catalyze, chemical reactions, and they are known to catalyze more than 5,000 biochemical reaction types. Most enzymes are proteins, although a few are catalytic RNA molecules. Choose specific enzymes for cleaving bonds, removing genomic DNA from RNA preparations, for producing fragments of proteins, or for use in ion exchange chromatography. Enzymes are used in the chemical industry and other industrial applications when extremely specific catalysts are required.
Laccase (from Trametes versicolor)
Supplier: Merck
Laccase catalyses the oxidation of phenol containing compounds, including lignin, through the reduction of oxygen to water. The presence of mediators will allow the oxidation of non-phenlic compounds as well. The primary function of laccase is to degrade lignin in fungi.

Pineapple Bromelain (from Stem)
Supplier: Merck
Bromelain from pineapple stem has been used to evaluate the aqueous micellar two-phase systems composed of ionic liquids as co-surfactants, as a positive control in sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) / polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) and in cells proliferation assay, to study its potential analgesic effect and to evaluate its hydrolysing effects on proenkephalin (PENK)-derived peptides containing enkephalin sequences.

Trichoderma reesei cellulase
Supplier: Merck
Cellulase from Trichoderma reesei is produced by submerged fermentation of a selected strain of the fungus Trichoderma reesei and catalyzes the breakdown of cellulose into glucose, cellobiose, and higher glucose polymers. It corresponds to a molecular mass of 68 kDa with optimum pH and temperature of 6 and 52 °C, respectively.

Chicken lysozyme (Muramidase) (from egg white)
Supplier: Merck
Lysosyme from chicken egg white has been used for the extraction of genomic DNA from bacterial cells. It has been used as an external standard for MALDI-TOF (matrix assisted laser desorption ionisation-time of flight) mass analysis.Enzyme breaks down the cell walls of bacteria; used to prepare spheroplasts.
