Collection: General Metabolic Enzymes
General Metabolic Enzymes — includes enzymes that play a role in basic metabolic pathways such as hydrolysis of amide and ester bonds, as well as lipid oxidation, sourced from animal tissues, fungi, and microorganisms. This group provides biocatalysts for selective transformation reactions in biochemical research and enzymatic organic synthesis.
Enzymes such as acylase are used by biochemistry researchers to hydrolyze acyl groups on N-acetyl amino acids, supporting chiral resolution processes in the enantioselective production of pure amino acids. Lipoxidase from soybean is commonly used to study the oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids and as an analytical tool for investigating lipid peroxidation pathways in food biochemistry research.
Examples of products in this collection: TCI A0148 9012-37-7 Acylase from Hog Kidney, TCI L0059 9029-60-1 Lipoxidase from Soybean, TCI A0688 9012-37-7 Acylase from Aspergillus genus.
Pay attention to the source organism of the enzyme (animal, fungal, or plant) as it affects substrate specificity, the listed enzyme activity units, and the product form (powder or solution) according to the requirements of the reaction protocol. All products are genuine products of Tokyo Chemical Industry (TCI) Japan, with purity, packaging, and storage conditions listed on the page of each item.
Other categories that are parallel under the Enzyme Class Index, often used together in one laboratory workflow:
