Enzymes are Biocatalysts produced by living organisms, are not alive, but are complex organic polymers. They fold by themselves to form a Catalytic Surface, exposing their ACTIVE SITE and their complementary surface to the Substrate. Enzymes are highly Substrate Specific, Efficient, Controllable and Biodegradable. The actions of enzymes are specific to time, temperature and pH. The opportunity for application of enzymes exists in the areas of stain removal, surface modification and textile restoration. |
