    Market Definition

    Enzymes are proteins that are composed of amino acids and have the capability to convert a compound (substrate) into another product by catalytic reaction. These catalytic proteins assist in the performance of biochemical reactions. They lower the activation energy of the reaction and then induce it.

    Specialty enzymes are primarily utilized to produce pharmaceuticals, and diagnostics solutions, as well as in bio-catalysts and research & biotechnology. They are highly selective catalysts and function in metabolic reactions and in the interconversion of complex molecules to smaller ones.
