racemase

As nouns the difference between terms and racemase

is that terms is while racemase is (enzyme) any enzyme that catalyzes the stereochemical inversion of the configuration about an asymmetric carbon atom in a substrate having only one center of asymmetry.

As an adjective racemose

is having flowers arranged along a single central axis, as in a raceme, spike, or catkin.

As a noun racemase is

any enzyme that catalyzes the stereochemical inversion of the configuration about an asymmetric carbon atom in a substrate having only one center of asymmetry.

As nouns the difference between racemase and racemate

is that racemase is (enzyme) any enzyme that catalyzes the stereochemical inversion of the configuration about an asymmetric carbon atom in a substrate having only one center of asymmetry while racemate is (chemistry) a racemic mixture.

In enzyme terms the difference between epimerase and racemase

is that epimerase is any enzyme that catalyzes the stereochemical inversion of the configuration about an asymmetric carbon atom in a substrate having more than one center of asymmetry while racemase is any enzyme that catalyzes the stereochemical inversion of the configuration about an asymmetric carbon atom in a substrate having only one center of asymmetry.

As an adjective stereochemical

is of or pertaining to stereochemistry.

As a noun racemase is

any enzyme that catalyzes the stereochemical inversion of the configuration about an asymmetric carbon atom in a substrate having only one center of asymmetry.
