Abstract
In nature, most enzymes and proteins are located inside biological cells. Inside cells, most enzymes and proteins are further subdivided into smaller immobilized systems of intracellular organelles or intracellular membrane systems. Enzyme and protein research and its application have gone through interesting stages (Table 1). Stage I included extensive research into the extraction, purification, and crystallization of enzymes from biological cells and other sources. Enzymes obtained this way were used for detailed studies of enzyme kinetics.
