Enzymatic refers to processes or phenomena involving enzymes. Enzymes are biological catalysts, typically proteins, that speed up chemical reactions within living organisms. They are highly specific, meaning each enzyme usually catalyzes only one or a very limited range of reactions. The term enzymatic is used to describe anything related to the action, function, or study of enzymes. For example, enzymatic digestion is the breakdown of food in the body facilitated by digestive enzymes. Enzymatic activity can be measured to assess the health of cells or tissues, or to monitor the progress of biochemical reactions. Many industrial processes, such as in food production, brewing, and detergent manufacturing, utilize enzymatic reactions. Understanding enzymatic processes is fundamental to biochemistry and molecular biology, providing insights into metabolism, genetic regulation, and disease. The efficiency and specificity of enzymes make them crucial for life.
