Enzymatic hydrolysis

Enzyme-facilitated splitting of molecular bonds with water From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In biochemistry, enzymatic hydrolysis is a process in which enzymes facilitate the cleavage of bonds in molecules with the addition of the elements of water (i.e. hydrolysis). It plays an important role in the digestion of food.[1]

It may be used to help provide renewable energy, as with cellulosic ethanol.[2]
