Abstract :

Enzymes are the globular proteins that act as thermolabile biocatalyst, which occurs only in a narrow range of temperatures. They speed up the biochemical reactions that occur in the body. These can be proteins as well as RNA in nature. Enzymes can work in vivo and in vitro. Enzymes have a wide role in scientific, pharmaceutical, and industrial aspects. At the same time, by accelerating the chemical reactions, enzymes play a crucial role in different environmentally friendly processes such as food production, textiles, medicines, detergents, and biofuels. Some enzymes, such as rennin, invertase, amylase, and protease, are used in food processing. As beneficial uses of enzymes, they are first isolated from microbes, animals, and plant tissues. From industrial aspects, they offer an effective role in several industries like dairy, detergent, and the textile industry. Many uses are more in the medical and pharmaceutical industries. After isolation of the desired enzyme, various purification techniques, including filtration, centrifugation, and chromatography, are applied. The genetic manipulation of antioxidant enzymes causes the formation of stress-tolerant plants, to increases the plants’ productivity. In this paper, the role of enzymes in various domains is introduced to meet the needs of global food and environmental problems.
