Message definition (Enzyme)
French chemist [[Anselme Payen]] was the first to discover an enzyme, [[diastase]], in 1833. A few decades later, when studying the [[fermentation (food)|fermentation]] of sugar to [[ethanol|alcohol]] by [[yeast]], [[Louis Pasteur]] concluded that this fermentation was caused by a [[vital force]] contained within the yeast cells called "ferments", which were thought to function only within living organisms. He wrote that "alcoholic fermentation is an act correlated with the life and organization of the yeast cells, not with the death or putrefaction of the cells."
