Enzymum

Enzymum nomine purino-nucleoside-phosphorylasis (PNP)

Enzymum (e Graeco en zymo) est proteinum quod reactionem biologicam catalizat activandam aut reprimendam.

Enzyma, cum proteina sint, ex acido aminico facta sunt, quorum schema sequitur: substratum (eductum / educta) + enzymum → complexus enzymi et substrati → producta + enzymum.
