entsymaattisten

Entsymaattisten is the plural genitive form of the Finnish adjective entsymaattinen, meaning enzymatic or relating to enzymes. The adjective entsymaattinen is derived from the noun entsyymi (enzyme) and the common adjectival suffix -inen. In Finnish, adjectives in -inen form the plural genitive by adding -isten, yielding entsymaattisten to modify a plural noun in genitive.

In usage, entsymaattisten describes properties, processes, or substances associated with enzymes. It is common in scientific and academic Finnish, particularly in biochemistry, molecular biology, and physiology. The form appears in noun phrases such as entsymaattisten aineiden tutkimus (the study of enzymatic substances), entsymaattisten molekyylien toiminta (the action of enzymatic molecules), and entsymaattisten reaktioiden mekanismit (the mechanisms of enzymatic reactions).

Grammatically, entsymaattisten governs the head noun in the genitive plural; the overall phrase may function as a modifier or be the object of a verb or preposition. The head noun may be singular or plural depending on the context.
