∙ 9y agoAn enzyme is a natural biological catalyst. Amylase is an enzyme that acts as a catalyst to break down starch into sugars that can be absorbed by the body. Amylase is produced by the salivary gland and the pancreas.
A catalyst is something that speeds up a reaction without being used up, or reacting with the reactants.

How can you know or test that there is enzyme in the plant?
It depends on the enzyme that you want to test. If the enzyme uses or produces a compound that is detectable, and you know what compounds the enzyme needs to use/produce this, you can add a known amount of the substrate (the compound that is used) to the enzyme and measure the product (the compound that is produced) over time.Answers.comAnswers.comAnswers.comAnswers.comAnswers.comAnswers.comAnswers.comAnswers.comAnswers.comAnswers.comAnswers.comAnswers.comAnswers.comAnswers.comAnswers.comAnswers.comAnswers.comAnswers.comAnswers.comAnswers.comAnswers.comAnswers.comAnswers.comAnswers.comAnswers.comAnswers.comAnswers.comAnswers.comAnswers.comAnswers.comAnswers.comAnswers.comAnswers.comAnswers.comAnswers.comAnswers.comAnswers.comAnswers.comAnswers.comAnswers.comAnswers.comAnswers.comAnswers.comAnswers.comAnswers.comAnswers.comAnswers.comAnswers.comAnswers.comAnswers.comAnswers.comAnswers.comAnswers.comAnswers.comAnswers.comAnswers.comAnswers.comAnswers.comAnswers.comAnswers.comAnswers.comAnswers.comAnswers.comAnswers.comAnswers.comAnswers.comAnswers.comAnswers.comAnswers.comAnswers.comAnswers.comAnswers.comAnswers.comAnswers.comAnswers.comAnswers.comAnswers.comAnswers.comAnswers.comAnswers.comAnswers.comThis approach only works if there is only one enzyme that can act on the compound you are measuring.If you already have that enzyme in pure form you can make an antibody against it and do an Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) or a Western blot, which will give you a signal if the enzyme is present.
When does enzyme inhibition occur?
Your body is full of enzymes that do various things for you. They aid in performing chemical reactions. But, if you put something in your body (like a drug or toxin), the enzymes can get messed up and not work. So, enzyme inhibition means that an enzyme is being inhibited (messed up) by something.
