enzymologist

/ˌɛnzɪmˈɑlədʒˌɪst/ noun

a specialist in enzymology

Word Origin An enzymologist studies enzymes, and 'enzyme' itself is from Greek 'en' (in) + 'zymē' (leaven, yeast)—literally 'in yeast,' because enzymes were first discovered in yeast fermentation. The -ologist part comes from 'logos' (study) + '-istes' (one who does). So an enzymologist is one who studies these 'in-yeast' catalysts. The same root 'zymē' gives us 'zymurgy' (the chemistry of fermentation) and 'zymase' (an enzyme complex).
