what does hydrolyze and catalyze mean?
115285
hydrolyze means to breakdown molecules using water, catalyze means to increase the rate of reaction so that it occurs at a lower activation energy, ie enzymes can catalyze a reaction

To make or process (a raw material) into a finished product, especially by means of a large-scale industrial operation. b. To make or process (a product), especially with the use of industrial machines. \n\nProduction - NOUN: 1a. The act or process of producing: timber used for the production of lumber and paper. b.

The toplevel classification is\nEC 1 Oxidoreductases: catalyze oxidation/reduction reactions \nEC 2 Transferases: transfer a functional group (e.g. a methyl or phosphate group) \nEC 3 Hydrolases: catalyze the hydrolysis of various bonds \nEC 4 Lyases: cleave various bonds by means other than hydrolysis and oxidation \nEC 5 Isomerases: catalyze isomerization changes within a single molecule \nEC 6 Ligases: join two molecules with covalent bonds\n\nthe other parts of the name classify the reaction that they catalyse, kinases and phosphatases are pretty much synonymous

Detergents are a certain type of cleaner. By including Enzymatic, I interpert it to mean that enzymes are used as a basis for the cleaning process to digest the particular contaminant.

Hydrolase is an enzyme that catalyses the reaction in which water molecule reacts with a substrate cuasing some kind of its splitting, genrally you can describe this reaction as follows:\n          hydrolase\nH2O + XY  -------->  X-H + HO-Y, where H2O is a water molecule, XY is a substrate composed of two whatever functional groups.\n\nK

(this is just a brief answer to ur question. if u want something more detailed try the source i used.)\n\nA lipase is a water-soluble enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of ester bonds in water–insoluble, lipid substrates. \n\nSeveral different types of lipases are found in the human body, including pancreatic lipase, hepatic lipase, lysosomal lipase, gastric lipase, endothelial lipase, as well as various different phospholipases.

Hydrochloride\n\nFrom our old friend the Wikipedia:\n\nConverting otherwise insoluble amines into their hydrochlorides is a common way to make them water and acid-soluble. This is particularly desirable for substances used in medications. Many pharmaceutical substances used are prepared as hydrochlorides so that they may be quickly absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract.

Amylase is an enzyme, that is, it is a catalist for the reaction (eases and accelerates it) but does not participate in the reaction itself. Starch is a polysaccharide formed by molecules of glucose, and what happens is that starch breaks down, i.e. the bonds between these glucose molecules are hydrolized (destroyed by addition of water, H2O), resulting in smaller polysaccharids (maltose), disaccharids and eventually single glucoses (monosaccharides). This reaction releases energy, the energy that was previously stored in those chemical bonds during the synthesis of starch; thus, it's exergonic (in fact all breakdown reactions - catabolism- are exergonic/exothermic).

All enzymes are proteins that catalyze reactions and are not changed or comsumed during those reactions. They all have a temperature and a pH at which they work best. They have an active site, require a substrate, and they all lower the activation energy level required for certain reactions to occur.  \n\n\n (Ribosomes are made of two subunits - one is RNA, the other is protein - and are not enzymes.)

Mg is neseccary for the catalytic reaction. A lot of enzymes have an ion in their catalyitic center which usually co-ordinate the reacting groups.

An enzyme is a protein that catalyzes, or speeds up, a chemical reaction. The word comes from the Greek ένζυμο, énsymo, which comes from én ("at" or "in") and simo ("leaven" or "yeast"). Certain RNAs also have catalytic activity, but to differentiate them from protein enzymes, they are referred to as RNA enzymes or ribozymes.\n\nEnzymes are essential to sustain life because most chemical reactions in biological cells would occur too slowly, or would lead to different products without enzymes. A malfunction (mutation, overproduction, underproduction or deletion) of a single critical enzyme can lead to a severe disease. For example, the most common type of phenylketonuria is caused by a single amino acid mutation in the enzyme phenylalanine hydroxylase, which catalyzes the first step in the degradation of phenylalanine. The resulting build-up of phenylalanine and related products can lead to mental retardation if the disease is untreated.\n\nLike all catalysts, enzymes work by providing an alternate pathway of lower activation energy of a reaction, thus allowing the reaction to proceed much faster. Enzymes may speed up reactions by a factor of many millions. An enzyme, like any catalyst, remains unaltered by the completed reaction and can therefore continue to function. Because enzymes do not affect the relative energy between the products and reagents, they do not affect equilibrium of a reaction. However, the advantage of enzymes compared to most other catalysts is their sterio-, regio- and chemoselectivity and specificity.\n\nEnzyme activity can be affected by other molecules. Inhibitors are naturally occurring or synthetic molecules that decrease or abolish enzyme activity; activators are molecules that increase activity. Some irreversible inhibitors bind enzymes very tightly, effectively inactivating them. Many drugs and poisons act by inhibiting enzymes. Aspirin inhibits the COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes that produce the inflammation messenger prostaglandin, thus suppressing pain and inflammation. The poison cyanide inhibits cytochrome c oxidase, which effectively blocks cellular respiration.\n\nWhile all enzymes have a biological role, some enzymes are used commercially for other purposes. Many household cleaners use enzymes to speed up chemical reactions ( e.g., breaking down protein or starch stains in clothes).\n\nMore than 5,000 enzymes are known. Typically the suffix -ase is added to the name of the substrate (e.g., lactase is the enzyme that catalyzes the cleavage of lactose) or the type of reaction (e.g., DNA polymerase catalyzes the formation of DNA polymers). However, this is not always the case, especially when enzymes modify multiple substrates. For this reason Enzyme Commission or EC numbers are used to classify enzymes based on the reactions they catalyze. Even this is not a perfect solution, as enzymes from different species or even very similar enzymes in the same species may have identical EC numbers.

Catalyst works by lowering down the activation energy of the reaction. Activation energy is the minimum amount of energy which the reactants should have in order to react & result into products. The catalyt reacts with the reactants to form INTERMIDIATE products which require lower activation energy & easily result into products.The catalyst usually have large surface areas so the reactants are easily ADSORBED on its surface.The bonds between the reactant molecules break & form new products which are realeased from the catalust's surface.

Your question is very vague, as you can see by the many different answers. If you are looking for an English word that has two opposite meanings, then one answer is "cleave." It can mean "to split" or "to cling to or adhere."\n\nIs that the sort of thing you are looking for?

In addition to what Jen said, I would also like to point out that although isoenzymes by definition catalyze the same reaction, they often do it with different kinetic parameters.\n\nFor example, there may be different reaction order, affinities (K-constants), and the like, between two isozenzymes, even though they both perform the same product-to-substrate conversion.
