In 1930, eighty enzymes were discovered and identified. The specific areas with which each enzyme reacts were identified, as well as the particular effect it produces. However by 1993, there are more than 2,700 known and classified enzymes. Yet, such number does not indicate that all the active substances responsible for evolution have been identified.
As mentioned, enzymes are necessary for the proper functioning of the entire metabolism of the body. Each enzyme is related to all the rest that even a single minute error or disturbance can cause diseases. Again, each enzyme works on a specific task and if one does not function as it is supposed to, then there is a general effect.
A particular type of enzyme that is making quite a buzz in the medical field is proteolytic enzyme. Proteolyitic enzymes are enzymes that initiating protein catabolism by hydrolysis of the peptide bonds that link amino acids together in the polypeptide chain.
Proteolytic enzymes regulate the protein function in the body. It is able to sufficiently break down dietary nutrients, which the body needs. Moreover, these enzymes have the capacity to dissolve dead tissues without harming the living tissues.
There are actually several kinds of proteolytic enzymes and each is designated with a particular type of nutrient to break down. There are starch digesting enzymes, protein digesting enzymes, cellulose digesting enzymes and lipid-digesting enzymes.
