Preferred Label : enzyme induction;
Detailed label : enzyme induction in general chemistry;
IUPAC definition : The process whereby an (inducible) enzyme is synthesized in response to a specific
molecule (cf. inducer).The inducer molecule (often a substrate that needs the catalytic
activity of the inducible enzyme for its metabolism) combines with a repressor and
thereby prevents the blocking of an operator by the repressor.;
