Pancreo- is the medical terminology combining form meaning pancreas.
-ase is the medical terminology combining form meaning enzyme.
The medical terminology combining form -ase refers to an enzyme, which is a protein that helps to catalyze biochemical reactions in the body. Enzymes play a crucial role in various metabolic processes and help to facilitate the conversion of substrates into products.
A protease is an enzyme that digests protein. These enzymes are also known as peptidases.
Albinism=this condition is the result of a missing enzyme that is necessary for the production of melanin.Albinism=this condition is the result of a missing enzyme that is necessary for the production of melanin.
TPO stands for "Thyroid Peroxidase", an enzyme involved in the production of thyroid hormones in the body. Elevated levels of TPO antibodies are often associated with autoimmune thyroid disorders such as Hashimoto's thyroiditis.
the production of enzymes by activity including combining chemicals, which is the definition of synthesis.
Lip- means fat and -ase means enzyme. The word means an enzyme that breaks down fat. Lipids are another word meaning fat. When a person goes for a metabolic panel, they get information on the amount of lipids in the blood. Mostly cholesterol and triglycerides. Glucase is an enzyme that breaks down glucose (blood sugar). Sucrase breaks down sucrose (table sugar). All enzymes end in -ase. The first part of the word is what they break down.
With a lot of heat, the enzyme will be denatured meaning it will lose its shape and therefore its function.
Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. It's a kind of test process.It is a medical technique for finding the presence of an antibody or an antigen in a sampling.Literally it stands for Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay.
A change in pH can denature an enzyme, meaning the reaction would stop.
specific-meaning it is only able to catalyze a reaction with a certain molecule.
Urea denatures the enzyme as it disrupts the 3-D structure of the enzyme, this changes the shape of the enzymes' active site, thus meaning that the enzyme is unable to create an enzyme-substrate complex which then means that the reaction cannot occur thus the rate of the enzyme controlled reaction becomes very slow.
Merriam-Webster defines enzyme as: any of numerous complex proteins that are produced by living cells and catalyze specific biochemical reactions at body temperatures.
