There is more than one method for naming enzymes (which can be confusing when it comes to classification). However, the most common method is by using a prefix that represents the substance or substrate upon which they act or affect, followed by the suffix "ase" (which just labels the substance an enzyme). For example: The enzyme protease is the catalyst for converting proteins into their component amino acids.

Enzyme's names are derived from the foods they break down. Proteins and Carbohydrates are broken down by Protease and Carbohydrase respectively.
The name is got by removing the final 3 letters of the food to be broken down and replaced by ase
Example;
Food Enzyme
1. Protein ------> Protease
2. Carbohydrate --------> Carbohydrase
DNA is an abbreviation for deoxyribonucleic acid. For the etymology of DNA, see the related question below.
DeoxyriboNucleic Acid
Their amide groups. NH3(+)
Enzymes are recognize by their proteins.
Catalysts that are active working in the body are called enzymes.
Serum enzymes are any type of enzymes that are found in the blood.
The enzymes which degrade or decomposed when heated are called thermolabile enzymes
Some proteins do serve as enzymes, but certainly not all proteins.
Enzymes are recognize by their proteins.
The suffix -ase indicates an enzyme, e.g. proteinase, dehydrogenase, hydrogenase, polymerase.
salivary amylase.

Amylase, Protease And Lipase
Fat cells, also known as adipocytes, have two types of enzymes, both of which are affected by insulin. The names of these two enzymes are pyruvate dehydrogenase and acetyl-CoA carboxylase.
The ending -ase in biology and biochemistry is indicative of an enzyme. Major enzymes include lipase, lactase, maltase and sucrase.
Enzymes are assigned names ending in -ase, for instance, zymase.Sugars are assigned names ending in -ose, for instance, glucose.One way of identifying words that end in a particular sequence of letters involves using Wolfram/Alpha (given in the link). For instance, to identify six-letter words ending in ose enter ___ose (note: three underscores).
Enzymes belong to a class of proteins called "biocatalysts" and do not have a single scientific name. They are named based on the substrate they act upon and end with the suffix "-ase." For example, the enzyme that breaks down proteins is called protease.
what are three names of enzymes found in pancreatic juices?
enzymes
Proteins are not enzymes. Enzymes are protein,tertiary proteins
