hydrolase
This term is a technical classification used primarily in biochemistry and molecular biology. It describes a specific functional group of enzymes characterized by their mechanism of action—using water to cleave bonds. Because it is a scientific category, it is used in a neutral, descriptive register and is rarely encountered outside of academic, medical, or laboratory contexts.
As a countable noun, it refers to any single enzyme that fits this description. In professional literature, it is frequently paired with specific substrates to indicate what the enzyme breaks down, such as protease or lipase, which are types of hydrolases.
Meanings
Examples
