In the 1960s in Taiwan, the use of 酵素and 酶 was varied depending on the specific teaching context in high school classrooms. Later, as the science of Enzymology advanced, a number of related terms employed in practices went beyond the coverage of textbooks. As a result, it caused quite a nuisance to students and teachers both in the realms of academic institutions and industries, though many of them were intended to choose a simple way to ease off these confusions. Generally speaking, teachers in the classroom do their best to build up a labeling system and interpre
