Omega gamma delta beta alpha amino carbon atoms according to the connecting position in the carboxylic acid, can be divided into alpha, beta, gamma, Delta. Amino acids (C.C - C - C C - COOH).
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.
