ase
ase.Synthase, as exampleStill, not all enzymes have this ending. In the old days there were no naming rules. Pepsin, a digestive enzyme, is an example of non-naming by the modern rules.
-ase i.e. Carboxylase, ATP synthase
The ending -ase in biology and biochemistry is indicative of an enzyme. Major enzymes include lipase, lactase, maltase and sucrase.
The diminutive ending "-czyk" is of Slavic origin, meaning "son of" and is most commonly seen in Polish names.
all enzyme names end in -ase so probably.
Lactose intolerance is the inability to efficiently convert lactose into glucose and galactose, a reaction catalyzed by the enzyme lactase. (A rule of thumb for enzyme nomenclature is that many enzyme names typically take most of the name of their substrate and slap an "-ase" at the end.)
-ase
The suffix -ase indicates an enzyme, e.g. proteinase, dehydrogenase, hydrogenase, polymerase.
Enzymes are recognize by their proteins.
It breaks down lactose, and -ase is a common ending of enzyme names coming, ultimately, from the term lysis, which means "to break apart". So it's a nearly perfect name.
Hydrolases - Hydrolysis of a substrate - digestive enzyme isomerases - change of the molecular form of the substrate - famerase
as a general rule, anything ending in -ase is an enzyme, so lactase is an enzyme that breaks down molecules of lactose
