Anselme Payendiscovered the first enzyme which brake down starch intosugar. he named this diastase which mean inLatin seeding a part ( dia-stasis)
since then the -ase (from diastase) was used torefertoenzymaticactivity.

What word ending is associated with enzymes ase and ose?
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).
Are catalyse Maltese and sucrose enzymes?
All enzymes end in -ase. Their substrate is the base for the enzyme. For example: the sugar maltose is acted on by the enzyme maltase. Sucrose, by sucrase.
Do humans have catalase?
Not all of them are catalytic. There is a class of proteins called enzymes that are catalyzing biochemical reactions. Enzymes are take part in the reaction to speed by the reaction without consuming itself, meaning they can be recycled to the next reactions. Protease, lactase, APOBEC3G are some examples.
Where pectinase is found in the body?
It is an enzyme. Any thing with -ase at the end means it is an enzyme. In this case it acts on pectin found in plants and fruits. Pectin+ase.
