• Pasteur First scientist to study
  enzyme-catalyzed reactions. "Fermentations"
• Buchner Ground yeast cells and made a cell-free
  media proving that living cells were not
  necessary for enzyme activity.

• Certain enzymes are in high concentration in
  certain organs. When cell damage happens in that
  organ, the enzymes are leaked into the blood. By
  testing the blood for the presence of these
  enzymes, diseases can be detected quickly and
  accurately.

• Present in skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle and
  brain tissue. This enzyme has two polypeptide
  chains M and B
• Isozymes
• CPK1 (BB) brain tissue
• CPK2 (MB) myocardium
• CPK3 (MM) skeletal muscle

Lactate dehydrogenaseEC 1.1.1.27
0

• Present in most cells, cardiac muscle has only
  two of the isozymes. This enzyme has four
  polypeptide chains composed of H's and M's
• Isozymes
• LDH1 (HHHH)
• LDH2 (HHHM)
• LDH3 (HHMM)
• LDH4 (HMMM)
• LDH5 (MMMM)

Prostatic Acid PhosphataseEC 3.1.3.2

• Produced in the prostate, PAP is present in
  semen. It is frequently used as a preliminary
  test for the identification of seminal material
  in rape cases.
• A test for PAP is to place the material into
  phenylphosphate, allow the enzyme to remove the
  phosphate group and then test for the phenol that
  remains with FeCl3 which produces a purple color.

Clear solution turns purple when FeCl3 is added
in the presence of the phenol.
