In enzymology, a tannase (EC 3.1.1.20) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
digallate + H2O 2 gallateThus, the two substrates of this enzyme are digallate and H2O, whereas its product is gallate.[1]
This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on carboxylic ester bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is tannin acylhydrolase. Other names in common use include tannase S, and tannin acetylhydrolase.
In addition to catalyzing the hydrolysis of the central ester bond between the two aromatic rings of digallate (depsidaseactivity), tannase may also have anesteraseactivity (hydrolysis of terminal ester functional groups that are attached to only one of the two aromatic rings).[2]
Tannase is a key enzyme in the degradation of gallotannins, a type of hydrolysable tannins. It is present in a diverse group of microorganisms, including rumen bacteria.

Can tannase be added as additive for removal of tea stains in cloth fabric. Can tannase if found stable in particular detergent used for removal of tea stains in the cloth fabric?
Tannase is often used as an additive to promote the removal of stained fabric, caused by a variety of things including tea. Tannase enzymes provide additional cleaning ability when broken down.
What is the Difference between enzyme and regulatory enzyme?
An enzyme is one kind of protein that can catalyze a specific reaction whereas a regulatory enzyme is the enzyme which can regulate a series of reaction which undergo in the living organism. So we can say every enzyme is not a regulatory one but the regulatory enzymes are obviously a special kind of enzyme.
What kind of molecule is an enzyme-?
The type of molecule that is an enzyme is a protein molecule.
How is a catalyst like platinum different from an enzyme?
Catalysts are compounds that change the speed of chemical reactions. An enzyme is a protein and also a catalyst. So an enzyme can be a catalyst, but a catalyst can't be an enzyme.
What does the shape of an enzyme have to do with how well the enzyme works?
The shape allows the enzyme to carry out specific chemical reactions.
Can tannase be added as additive for removal of tea stains in cloth fabric. Can tannase if found stable in particular detergent used for removal of tea stains in the cloth fabric?
Tannase is often used as an additive to promote the removal of stained fabric, caused by a variety of things including tea. Tannase enzymes provide additional cleaning ability when broken down.
What can you do to regain the activity of the enzyme?
The enzyme is inactive at this point. New enzyme must be added to regain enzyme activity
What to enzymes do in an enzyme-substrate?
in an enzyme-substrate complex, the enzyme acts on the substrate .
Does enzyme has proteins?
An enzyme is a protein
What is an angiotensin converting enzyme?
An angiotensin converting enzyme is an enzyme which catalyzes the creation of angiotensin.
The binding together of an enzyme and a substrate forms a what?
enzyme-substrate complex
What is the active site for an enzyme?
The place where the substrate and the enzyme meet to allow the enzyme to function.
What enzyme is responsible for fat digestion?
the lipase enzyme :)
An enzyme that cuts double-stranded DNA at specific nucleotide sequences?
Such an enzyme is called a restriction endonuclease
What is it called when and enzyme and substrate come together?
The binding of an enzyme and a substrate forms an enzyme-substrate complex. It lowers the activation energy of a chemical reaction
What is the Difference between enzyme and regulatory enzyme?
An enzyme is one kind of protein that can catalyze a specific reaction whereas a regulatory enzyme is the enzyme which can regulate a series of reaction which undergo in the living organism. So we can say every enzyme is not a regulatory one but the regulatory enzymes are obviously a special kind of enzyme.
What type of enzyme is plasmin?
Blood enzyme
