Living cells produces substances that act as a catalyst in living organism. The substances are also known as Enzymes. All enzymes are proteins which helps to speed up the rate of chemical reactions.

Due to its catalytic activity of enzymes, they are used for industrial purposes such as fermentation of wine, paper industry and even washing detergent industry.

The main topic about this article is Enzymes being used for pharmaceutical and diagnostic industry. A fe examples would be killing disease-causing micro-organisms, prompting wound healing and diagnosing certain diseases.

However, enzymes are being used in far more important application that just speeding up reaction. It not only helps to indicate certain diseases but also helps to aid digestion(e.g for those who is lactose intolerant people).
