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: -Scientists support the “lock and key” model below for how an enzyme speeds up chemical reactions. The letters “ase” at the end of words help us identify enzymes.
Detailed explanation-4: -Enzymes contain a globular protein part called apoenzyme and a non-protein part named cofactor or prosthetic group or metal-ion-activator.
Detailed explanation-5: -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.
