"Enzyme promiscuity"
Enzyme promiscuity
is the characteristic
that have some enzymes
of catalyzing not only
a primary relationship,
that has developed the enzyme
or that has evolved
over millions of years,
but there are certain enzymes
that can accelerate secondary reactions.
This feature of accelerating
more than one type of reaction
is called "enzyme promiscuity".
Its potential applications are
the development of new biocatalysts
capable of accelerating certain reactions
that can provide us with prospects
for applications in biomedicine,
organic synthesis
or industrial applications.
