Synthesis
Neurotransmitter molecules are removed from a synapse through a process called reuptake or enzymatic degradation. In reuptake, the neurotransmitter is taken back up into the presynaptic neuron. In enzymatic degradation, special enzymes break down the neurotransmitter molecules into inactive byproducts.
The process of breaking down complex molecules into simpler ones, such as digestion of food in the stomach, requires hydrolytic enzymes. These enzymes catalyze the breaking of chemical bonds by adding water molecules, helping to convert large molecules into smaller, digestible ones for absorption by the body.
Enzymes have specific active sites that match the shape and charge of their substrate molecules. This specificity allows enzymes to catalyze specific chemical reactions. Substrate binding induces a conformational change in the enzyme to more effectively convert substrate molecules into products.
In terms of biological molecules, enzymes are proteins. There is another method of classifying enzymes. This classification is based on function. There are 6 catagories: 1. Oxidoreductases 2. Transferases 3. Hexokinases4. Liases 5. Isomerases 6. Ligases
Enzymes. They are biological molecules that facilitate chemical reactions by lowering the activation energy required to convert substrates into products. Enzymes are highly specific, often catalyzing only one type of reaction.

The nuerotransmitter is deactivated by acetylcholinesterase enzymes located in the membrane. Components of the neurotransmitter are actively reabsorbed back into the synaptic knob,recycled and repackaged.
Digestive enzymes break down starch into smaller molecules called maltose, which is a disaccharide composed of two glucose molecules. This process begins in the mouth with the enzyme amylase and continues in the small intestine with enzymes like maltase and sucrase.
