BIOMOLECULES AND ENZYMES

Detailed explanation-1: -Except for some of the originally studied enzymes such as pepsin, rennin, and trypsin, most enzyme names end in “ase".

Detailed explanation-2: -The names of most enzymes end in the suffix-ase.

Detailed explanation-3: -Enzymes are named by adding the suffix-ase to the name of the substrate that they modify (i.e., urease and tyrosinase), or the type of reaction they catalyze (dehydrogenase, decarboxylase). Some have arbitrary names (pepsin and trypsin).

Detailed explanation-4: -The suffix-ase is used in biochemistry to form names of enzymes. The most common way to name enzymes is to add this suffix onto the end of the substrate, e.g. an enzyme that breaks down peroxides may be called peroxidase; the enzyme that produces telomeres is called telomerase.

Detailed explanation-5: -In biochemistry, the term enzyme end with the suffix called “ase". It is used to mark an enzyme. To perform its (enzyme) particular catalytic activity on a specific substrate for the enzyme end with the suffix “ase".
