Our Skin: The Part Played by Metabolism and Enzymatic Action

by Valerie DeVette

Globular or 'spheroproteins' such as those present in snail secretion, are among the most soluble aqueous solutions to be found in Mother Nature. They function both as enzymes and signal transduction proteins. Almost every enzyme with prominent metabolic processes posses a globular, and this is also true for a wealth of signal transduction proteins.

Metabolism is the biochemical modification of chemical compounds in living organisms and cells. A process that involves both the biosynthesis of complex biological molecules (anabolism) and their breakdown (catabolism). Metabolism commonly consists of sequences of enzymatic steps, also called metabolic pathways.

Cell metabolism is the mechanism (or actually the sum of several ongoing individual processes) by which living cells process nutrient molecules and maintain a living status. Metabolism can be broken into two clear processes: anabolism, whereby the cells utilize energy and reducing power in order to produce complex molecules that are effective in the creation of cellular structure; and catabolism, whereby elements are diffused by cells so that ram material and energy can be gained.

Protein catabolism is the breakdown of proteins into amino acids and simple derivative compounds, for transport inside the cell through the plasmatic wall and ultimately for the polymerization into new proteins via the use of ribonucleic acids (RNA) and ribosomes.

Enzymes (or proteins) speed up the healing process because they reduce swelling by 'digesting' or breaking down damaged cells, then allowing the quick removal of these waste materials, minimizing inflammation and pain. Ultimately, this process repairs damaged tissue and invigorates the skin.

Enzymes Manage Organic Mechanisms Naturally and During Bio Skin Care Processes

In biology, signal transduction is every process by which a cell transforms one kind of signal or stimulus into a different one. Signal transduction involves a series of biochemical activities that are carried out by enzymes utilizing second messengers. All of this happens in milliseconds or a few seconds.

An increasing number of enzymes and other molecules are stimulated and set off through the initial stimulus. In such cases the chain of steps is referred to as a 'signaling cascade' or a 'second messenger pathway' and often results in a small stimulus eliciting a large response.

As opposed to fibrous proteins (collagen, elastin) which only provide a supportive role, globular proteins work as:

- Enzymes, through the expedition of extremely particular biological responses that occur in mild conditions.

- Messengers, by transmitting messages to regulate organic processes. This work is carried out by hormones, i.e. insulin etc.

- Deliverers of various other molecules within membranes.

- Collations of amino acids.

All of these natural processes are just as essential to the skin as they are to your whole body. For this reason, it is imperative to only apply products to your skin that are based on balanced bio skin care principles.

Due to these reasons, when in search of the most effective scar healing method you must look for an organic skin care solution that contains snail secretion spheroproteins, such as BIOSKINCARE. This 100% natural scar treatment both promotes and expedites the natural regenerative processes of the body's enzymes. This guarantees that the healing undertaken is in balance with our body's natural state and free of the range of side effects that usually accompany chemical based treatments.
