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.

α-Amylase (from Aspergillus oryzae)
Supplier: Merck
Aspergillus oryzae α-amylase enzyme catalyzes the hydrolysis of the α-1,4 glycosidic bonds in soluble starches and related subsrates. These substrates are broken down to release short oligosaccharides and α-limit dextrins. Also act as control enzyme in agar plate-based and carboxymethylcellulose-based clearing assays to screen cellulase activity.

Pronase E (from Streptomyces griseus)
Supplier: Merck
A mixture of at least three proteolytic activities including an extracellular serine protease. In general, serine proteases display a wide range of substrate specificities, which are believed to be mediated by an active site composed of one Asp, one His, and a Ser residue in the molecule. This enzyme prefers to hydrolyze peptide bonds on the carboxyl side of glutamic or aspartic acid.

alpha-Chymotrypsin
Supplier: Merck
α-Chymotrypsin is a serine peptidase and has 241 amino acid residues contained in three polypeptide chains (A chain-13 residues, B chain-131 residues, and C chain-97 residues) linked by disulfide bridges. Molecular weight of this enzyme is found to be 25 kDa. Its pI is 8,75. It selectively hydrolyses peptide bonds on the C-terminal side of tyrosine, phenylalanine, tryptophan, and leucine. Ca²⁺ activates and stabilizes the enzyme. The enzyme is inhibited by diisopropyl fluorophosphate (DFP), phenylmethanesulfonyl fluoride (PMSF), N-p-tosyl-L-phenylalanine chloromethyl ketone (TPCK), chymostatin, aprotinin, α1-antitrypsin, α2-macroglobulin, 10 mM Cu²⁺ and Hg²⁺.A serine protease that hydrolyzes peptide bonds with aromatic or large hydrophobic side chains (Tyr, Trp, Phe, Met, Leu) on the carboxyl end of the bond.

Chicken lysozyme (Muramidase) (from egg white)
Supplier: Merck
Lysozyme hydrolyzes β(1→4) linkages between N-acetylmuramic acid and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine residues in peptidoglycan and between N-acetyl-D-glucosamine residues in chitodextrin. Gram-positive cells are quite susceptible to this hydrolysis as their cell walls have a high proportion of peptidoglycan. Gram-negative bacteria are less susceptible due to the presence of an outer membrane and a lower proportion of peptidoglycan. However, these cells may be hydrolyzed in the presence of EDTA that chelates metal ions in the outer bacterial membrane.The enzyme is active over a broad pH range (6,0 to 9,0). At pH 6,2, maximal activity is observed over a wider range of ionic strengths (0,02 to 0,100 M) than at pH 9,2 (0,01 to 0,06 M).
