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.

Cellulase (from Aspergillus niger), MP Biomedicals
Supplier: MP Biomedicals
Cellulase refers to a group of enzymes which, acting together, hydrolyse cellulose. The b-glucosidases, including cellobiose, are primarily active on the smaller molecular weight cellulose hydrolysates. During cellulose breakdown they are active on the dimers and oligomers of cellulose.

Neuraminidase, MP Biomedicals
Supplier: MP Biomedicals
Neuraminidase (Sialidase: Acylneuraminyl hydrolase; EC 3.2.1.18) From Arthrobacter ureafaciens lyophilised powder with salts. The salts are composed of sodium-potassium phosphate to give a solution of 10 mM phosphate buffer (pH 7) when enzyme is reconstituted with water to make activity of 1 unit per ml. Activity: >60 units/mg protein for NAN-lactose >25 units/mg protein for bovine submaxillary mucin >20 units/mg protein for colominic acid Protein is determined by the method of Lowry et al. with bovine albumin as a standard.6 Unit definition: One unit will liberate 1,0 µmole of N-acetyl-neuraminic acid (NANA) per minute at pH 5,0 at 37 °C, using either one NAN-lactose, bovine submaxillary mucin, or colominic acid as a substrate.

Streptococcus (Lancefield group C strain) streptokinase, MP Biomedicals
Supplier: MP Biomedicals
Streptokinase catalyzes hydrolysis of amide linkages. Forms a 1:1 complex with plasminogen which is then converted to streptokinase-plasmin. Both streptokinase-plasminogen and streptokinase-plasmin complexes can activate plasminogen. As a result of its interaction with human or rabbit plasminogen, streptokinase undergoes specific fragmentation.

Papain, MP Biomedicals
Supplier: MP Biomedicals
Activators: Papain is activated by cysteine, sulphide, sulphite and more. It is enhanced when heavy metal binding agents such as EDTA are also present. N-bromosuccinimide enhances the activity. Inhibitors: Substances which react with sulphydryl groups including heavy metals, carbonyl reagents. Aldehydes are papain inhibitors. Benzoylamidoacetonitrile is an inhibitor. See Shapira and Arnon (1967a and b) on antibody inhibitors. Papain may be inactivated by H₂O₂ generated by γ-irradiation of H₂O− the active SH group being oxidised to sulphenic acid. Specific inhibitors are AEBSF, antipain, cystatin, E-64, leupeptin, PMSF, TLCK and TPCK.
