zymogen
(encz) | zymogen, n: |
zymogen
(gcide) | proenzyme \pro"en*zyme\, n. [.] (Bioch.)
Any one of a class of proteins that are converted, in the
normal course of cellular metabolism, into one or more active
enzymes; also called zymogen. The conversion usually is due
to a specific cleavage of a peptide bond by another enzyme,
or may be due to acid.
[PJC] |
Zymogen
(gcide) | Zymogen \Zym"o*gen\, n. [Zyme + -gen.] (Physiol. Chem.)
A mother substance, or antecedent, of an enzyme or chemical
ferment; -- applied to such substances as, not being
themselves actual ferments, may by internal changes give rise
to a ferment.
[1913 Webster]
The pancreas contains but little ready-made ferment,
though there is present in it a body, zymogen, which
gives birth to the ferment. --Foster.
[1913 Webster] |
zymogen
(wn) | zymogen
n 1: any of a group of compounds that are inactive precursors of
enzymes and require some change (such as the hydrolysis of
a fragment that masks an active enzyme) to become active

Zymogenic
(gcide) | Zymogenic \Zym`o*gen"ic\, a. (Biol.)
(a) Pertaining to, or formed by, a zymogene.
(b) Capable of producing a definite zymogen or ferment.
[1913 Webster]
Zymogenic organism (Biol.), a microorganism, such as the
yeast plant of the Bacterium lactis, which sets up
certain fermentative processes by which definite chemical
products are formed; -- distinguished from a {pathogenic
organism}. Cf. Micrococcus.
