English

Subject field(s)
  • Biochemistry
CONT

The hundreds of enzyme-catalyzed chemical reactions in cells are organized into many different sequences of consecutive reactions. Such sequences may have anywhere from 2 to 20 or more reaction steps. Some of these sequences of enzyme-catalyzed reactions degrade organic nutrients into simple end products.

Key term(s)
  • enzyme-catalysed reaction
  • enzyme-catalyzed chemical reaction

French

Domaine(s)
  • Biochimie
CONT

Les centaines de réactions chimiques catalysées par les enzymes dans les cellules vivantes s'organisent en de nombreuses séquences de réactions consécutives. Ces séquences peuvent avoir de deux à plus de vingt étapes réactionnelles. Certaines de ces séquences de réactions catalysées par des enzymes dégradent des nutriments organiques en des produits terminaux simples afin d'en extraire l'énergie chimique.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Biochemistry
CONT

Enzymes can catalyze in seconds complex sequences of reactions that would require days, weeks, or months of work in the chemical laboratory. Moreover, enzyme-catalyzed reactions proceed with 100 percent yields; there are no by-products.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Biochimie
CONT

Quelquefois, on peut voir directement le produit de la réaction catalysée par l'enzyme, mais très fréquemment, on doit lui faire subir d'autres réactions chimiques avant de pouvoir l'observer au microscope.

OBS

"Enzyme" s'emploie au masculin comme au féminin.
