| Abstract: | Enzymes
or biocatalysts are produced in the human body from amino acids that the body
obtains by digesting food proteins. Enzymes accelerate and control all
biochemical processes in the body and in a single second several millions of
enzyme mediated chemical reactions occur in a human body. Each enzyme is
programmed to carry out
one
special task. The immense number of enzymes acts as a perfectly matched
orchestra to ensure that enormously complex life mechanisms and processes occur
in a right direction. Sufficient amount and optimal function of enzymes present
in the human body is essential Cor life and health. Microbial enzymes play a
major role in the diagnosis,
curing, biochemical investigation and monitoring of
many dreaded diseases of the century. Information on this topic is very meagre
and thus the present review is an attempt to compile information on the
sources, properties and applications of important therapeutic enzymes. |
