Abstract

A method and app. for enzymic hydrolysis of proteins comprises a 1st vessel in which the substrate and enzyme is mixed and the substrate undergoes a 1st hydrolysis. This hydrolyzate is subjected to a 2nd hydrolysis step in a tube or tubes contg. stationary mixing elements. Using this method and app., peptide mixts. of well-defined compn. or degree of hydrolysis may be obtained in good yield. Thus, partially demineralized whey was hydrolyzed with pig trypsin in such an app. to prep. an hydrolyzate with NPN 65%. Under the same conditions, an NPN of only 60% was obtained when a single reaction vessel was used. [on SciFinder (R)]

Enzyme catalysis

Enzyme catalysis is the increase in the rate of a process by a biological molecule, an "enzyme". Most enzymes are proteins, and most such processes are chemical reactions. Within the enzyme, generally catalysis occurs at a localized site, called the active site. Most enzymes are made predominantly of proteins, either a single protein chain or many such chains in a multi-subunit complex. Enzymes often also incorporate non-protein components, such as metal ions or specialized organic molecules known as cofactor (e.

Enzyme

Enzymes (ˈɛnzaɪmz) are proteins that act as biological catalysts by accelerating chemical reactions. The molecules upon which enzymes may act are called substrates, and the enzyme converts the substrates into different molecules known as products. Almost all metabolic processes in the cell need enzyme catalysis in order to occur at rates fast enough to sustain life. Metabolic pathways depend upon enzymes to catalyze individual steps.

Hydrolysis

Hydrolysis (haɪˈdrɒlɪsɪs; ) is any chemical reaction in which a molecule of water breaks one or more chemical bonds. The term is used broadly for substitution, elimination, and solvation reactions in which water is the nucleophile. Biological hydrolysis is the cleavage of biomolecules where a water molecule is consumed to effect the separation of a larger molecule into component parts. When a carbohydrate is broken into its component sugar molecules by hydrolysis (e.g.
