Polymerase in polymerase-chain reaction (PCR) to multiply parts of certain DNA strand. Just think about the covid-tests!

Another examples:

1.) Amylase is an enzyme used in brewery to catalyze the starch into sugars.
2.) Lipase in washing agents to catalyze the fats.
3.) Protease in washing agents to break proteins down into amino acids.
