The old name for enzymes. With special catalytic ability of the protein. It consists of organisms (animal, plant, microorganism), or enzyme as a biological catalyst. It continues to promote a large number of complex chemical reactions in living organisms. Such as amylase starch and glycogen hydrolysis catalyst into dextrin and maltose; enzymatic protein hydrolysis peptide; lipase catalyzed hydrolysis of fats into fatty acids and glycerol.
Antibiotics (Antibiotic), also known as antibiotics, is a variety of organisms (plant, animal and microorganism, especially soil microbial metabolic activities) products, is also capable of selectively inhibiting the microorganisms in low concentration, virus and properties of tissue cells. The antibiotic has grown to more than 2000, but the actual application not much. The chemical structure of different antibiotics, character, according to their chemical structure can be divided into 32 categories, such as nucleosides, peptides, proteins, macrolide, polyene macrolides etc.
