GB/T 36760-2018 in English

Interpretation of GB/T 36760—2018 Instrumental Enzyme Terminology and Classification Standard

1. Background and significance of standard formulation

As core reagents in the fields of biomedicine, life sciences, etc., standardized management of instrumental enzymes is of vital importance. The formulation of GB/T 36760—2018 Instrumental Enzyme Terminology and Classification fills the gap in the lack of unified terminology and classification system in the field of instrumental enzymes in China. The standard was drafted by the National Instrumental Enzyme Standardization Working Group, which brought together the strength of many universities, enterprises and scientific research institutions, aiming to promote the healthy development of the industrialization of instrumental enzymes.

2. Definition and application fields of instrumental enzymes

Reagent Enzymes are reagent enzymes that perform functions such as cutting, connecting, synthesizing (amplifying), and modifying biological molecules such as nucleic acids, proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids. They are widely used in genetic engineering, enzyme engineering, protein engineering, and other fields.

Its main application areas include:

• Gene editing and cloning
• Molecular diagnosis and detection
• Biopharmaceuticals and synthetic biology
• Industrial biocatalysis

3. Classification system of tool enzymes

Tool enzymes are divided into the following categories according to their functions:

4. Comparison and analysis of standard frameworks

GB/T 36760-2018 refers to the internationally accepted standards in the classification of tool enzymes, and at the same time makes localized adjustments based on domestic actual application needs. The following are the main comparison dimensions:

5. Implementation Suggestions and Outlook

To ensure the effective implementation of GB/T 36760—2018, it is recommended that:

1. Strengthen the promotion of standards and enhance industry awareness
2. Promote standardized production processes for enterprises
3. Establish a testing and certification mechanism for tool enzyme products
4. Encourage scientific research institutions to participate in standard revision and optimization

In the future, with the rapid development of biotechnology, tool enzymes will be more widely used in precision medicine, synthetic biology and other fields. The implementation of GB/T 36760-2018 will provide important technical support for these emerging fields.
