Enzymes are proteins that catalyse chemical reactions. The molecule that enzymes act upon is called as substrate and these substrates are converted by them into products. Enzymes are extremely specific with respect to substrate. Their activity is affected by inhibitors; pH, Temperature and concentration of substrate. There are a wide variety of enzymes that can act on different substrates.
Enzymes like Acid Cellulase, Xylanase, Amylase, Catalase, Protease, Laccase, etc have found commercial applications in various industries such as Pulp and paper, Textile, Feed and starch industries.
