Product The molecule that is produced by the action of an enzyme
Enzyme specificity each enzyme will react with only one particular substrate
Denatured enzyme has lost it's shape and can no longer function. It's active site has been destroyed
Rate of enzyme activity Is measured as the conversion of the substrate into the product in a given time
Bioreactor Is a vessel in which living cells or enzymes are used to make a product
Bioprocessing The use of an enzyme in chemical reactions to produce a product
Biologics are products made by living things or enzymes that are used in medicine
Pharmaceuticals are compounds manufactured for use as medicinal treatments
Biofuels are liquid fuels produced from renewable biological sources
