Synopsis
Discover how enzymes drive hydrolysis and oxidation, unlocking the chemistry at work inside living systems.
This edition explains how enzymes act as hydrolysers and how temperature and ions influence their power.
This book offers a clear look at how enzymes influence chemical changes in water and on particle surfaces. It explains hydrolysis, the role of hydrogen and hydroxyl ions, and how temperature affects reaction rates. The text covers competing theories on hydrolysis and shows how enzymes can substitute for heat to power reactions at the action site. It also explores oxidation and the oxidases, linking enzyme activity to the broader chemistry of life.
What you will experience
- A practical framework for understanding hydrolysis and how enzymes act as catalysts.
- Examples tying enzyme action to fats, carbohydrates, and proteins, and to related reactions.
- Discussion of temperature, ion concentration, and the role of water in enzymatic processes.
- Clarification of major theories and how they relate to real-world chemical changes.
Ideal for readers of science history and chemistry, this edition is accessible to students and general readers alike, offering a grounded view of enzyme action without unnecessary speculation.

Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the concept of enzyme action and its role in catalysis in living organisms. The author posits that the action of these substances, which speed up reactions in the body, can be explained by the formation of adsorption compounds, where enzymes interact with other molecules at surfaces. This theory could have significant implications for understanding how enzymes function, and pave the way for future studies in the field. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330509951_0
