  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-003997",
  "term": "Enzymatic decomposition",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The breakdown of a substrate molecule into simpler products, catalyzed by an enzyme. This process involves the enzyme binding to the substrate, facilitating a chemical reaction, and then releasing the products. Enzymatic decomposition is highly specific and occurs under mild conditions, playing a central role in biological systems and many analytical methods.",
