A slicer enzyme is typically a type of protein, which is a macromolecule composed of long chains of amino acids. These enzymes function as catalysts to facilitate biochemical reactions, including the cleavage of nucleic acids in RNA interference pathways. They play a crucial role in post-transcriptional regulation by processing and degrading RNA molecules.
A cofactor refers to a macromolecule that attaches to an enzyme to assist in catalysis. This can be a metal ion or a coenzyme.
Enzymes are a form of a protein.
as a general rule, anything ending in -ase is an enzyme, so lactase is an enzyme that breaks down molecules of lactose
DNA polymerase is an enzyme that helps catalyze the polymerization of DNA bases (deoxyribonucleotides) into a DNA strand.
