Enzymes accelerate, or catalyse, chemical reactions, and they are known to catalyse 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.
Clostridium histolyticum Collagenase Type II, MP Biomedicals
Supplier: MP Biomedicals
Collagenases degrade native helical collagen fibrils. The enzyme has an important role in connective tissue metabolism and is produced by specific cells involved in repairs and remodelling processes. It is a type II enzyme that contains greater clostripain activity. It is generally used for heart, bone, muscle, thyroid, cartilage, and liver cells. Ca²⁺ is required for its activation while metal chelating agents such as cysteine, EDTA or o-phenanthroline inhibits its activity.

Helix pomatia beta-Glucuronidase, MP Biomedicals
Supplier: MP Biomedicals
Beta-glucuronidases are members of the glycosidase family of enzymes that catalyse breakdown of complex carbohydrates. Human β-glucuronidase is a type of glucuronidase that catalyses hydrolysis of β-D-glucuronic acid residues from the non-reducing end of mucopolysaccharides, such as heparan sulfate. In human gut β-glucuronidase converts conjugated bilirubin to the unconjugated form for reabsorption.
