enzyme induction
Process whereby an enzyme is synthesized in response to a specific substance or to other agents such as heat or a metal species.

enzyme An organic compound produced within an organism that is capable of catalytic action.
EPA United States Environmental Protection Agency. Also USEPA.
enzyme : (a) any of numerous proteins or conjugated proteins produced by living organisms and functioning as biochemical catalysts. (b) a protein that a living organism uses in the process of degrading a specific compound.
enzymes (EN-zimes). Organic substances (produced by
living organisms) which cause or speed up chemical
reactions. Organic catalysts and/or biochemical catalysts.
Enzyme
Biologically produced, protein-based catalyst.
Ephemeral ...
endoenzyme or intracellular enzyme
An enzyme formed within the cell and not excreted into the medium.
endotrophic ...
Enzyme an organic proteinaceous compound that catalyses a specific biochemical reaction.
Esterification Production of ester by reacting alcohol and carboxylic acid ...
Enzymes that recognize specific regions of a long DNA molecule and cut it at those points.
Retrofit
Addition of a pollution control device on an existing facility without making major changes to the generating plant. Also called backfit.
An enzyme found in animals that regulates nerve impulses by the inhibition of acetylcholine.. Cholinesterase inhibition is associated with a variety of acute symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, blurred vision, stomach cramps, and rapid heart rate.
Restriction Enzymes- Enzymes that recognize specific regions of a long DNA molecule and cut it at those points.
Cholinesterase- An enzyme found in animals that regulates nerve impulses by the inhibition of acetylcholine.
Carbohydrase An enzyme that acts on carbohydrate. Carbon (C) 3 plants Those in which the assimilation of atmospheric carbon dioxide is directly via the enzyme ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase in the cells of the leaf mesophyll.
A process in which organisms, with the aid of chlorophyll (green plant enzyme), convert carbon dioxide and inorganic substances into oxygen and additional plant material, using sunlight for energy. All green plants grow by this process.
Examples include hormones, pheromones, and enzymes. Biochemistry A branch of biology that deals with the chemistry of living organisms, particularly the structure and function of their chemical components.
alkaline phosphatase an enzyme that hydrolizes organic phosphorus compounds, making some P available as soluble inorganic phosphate ...
We cannot overstate the importance of the enzyme RuBP carboxylase in the fixation of carbon. This enzyme makes up anywhere from 50 to 70 percent of the total protein found in leaves.
Bioremediation can be defined as any process that uses microorganisms or their enzymes to return the environment altered by contaminants to its original condition.
Organic substances "biodegrade" when they are broken down by other living organisms (such as enzymes and microbes) into their constituent parts, and in turn recycled by nature as the building blocks for new life.
enzyme, receptor, DNA, antibody, or microorganism) in intimate contact with an electrochemical, optical, thermal, or acoustic signal transducer that together permit analyses of chemical properties or quantities.
Examples include hormones, pheromones, and enzymes. Biochemicals function as pesticides through non-toxic, non-lethal modes of action, such as disrupting the mating pattern of insects, regulating growth, or acting as repellants.
Analytical device comprising a biological recognition element (e.g., enzyme, DNA) in intimate contact with an electrochemical, optical, thermal, or acoustic signal transducer that together permit analyses of chemical properties or quantities.
