INTRODUCCION
Las enzimas son las proteínas que tienen la capacidad de catalizar con extraordinaria eficiencia y especificidad todo el espectro de reacciones químicas que constituyen la base dinámica de la vida. Las enzimas por tanto, realizan la función más básica y universal en todos los seres vivos. Esta función catalítica, aunque sometida a las mismas leyes naturales que rigen el funcionamiento del resto de los catalizadores, se diferencia en base a una serie de propiedades como la eficiencia, la diversidad y especificidad de la catálisis, así como la capacidad de estas biomoléculas de regular su propia actividad catalítica.
La eficiencia de las reacciones catalizadas por enzimas es extraordinaria, en tanto los incrementos de velocidad alcanzados son del orden de 1010 - 1020 veces, mucho más altos que para otros catalizadores. Estas reacciones transcurren en condiciones relativamente suaves, temperaturas por debajo de 100 0C, presión atmosférica y valores de pH cercanos a la neutralidad. Debido a la especificidad de acción de las enzimas, tan sólo determinados sustratos pueden ser transformados y únicamente tiene lugar un tipo de reacción; no ocurren reacciones colaterales ni se originan subproductos en el proceso. Por esta razón las reacciones enzimáticas tienen un alto rendimiento. Estas características no se presentan en ningún catalizador no biológico.
La acción catalítica de las enzimas es regulable, pues están sujetas a controles de diferente naturaleza, que pueden ir desde un control genético a nivel de la síntesis de la proteína enzimática, hasta la regulación de la actividad por cambios conformacionales reversibles de la molécula de la enzima, debido a señales específicas. Esto permite que la velocidad de las reacciones enzimáticas pueda variar en un amplio rango de acuerdo a las condiciones celulares. Por otra parte, las enzimas catalizan un amplio espectro de tipos de reacciones. Su versatilidad, en este sentido, hace posible que en una célula puedan ocurrir reacciones de diferente naturaleza: hidrolíticas, oxidativas, transferencias de grupos, entre otras.
La teoría acerca de la catálisis enzimática debe explicar estas características. En las reacciones catalizadas por enzimas disminuye la energía de activación y aumenta la probabilidad de una orientación adecuada de los reactivos, factores que actúan conjuntamente y producen velocidades mayores. Cualquier reacción química va acompañada de un cambio energético continuo. El estado inicial es el estado de menos energía y el más estable, donde las longitudes, ángulos de enlace y distribución electrónica de los reaccionantes tienen valores de equilibrio. Estos parámetros se distorsionan a medida que la reacción procede y como consecuencia, la energía aumenta.

INTRODUCTION
Enzymes are proteins that have the capacity of catalyzing, with extraordinary efficiency and specificity, the complete spectrum of chemical reactions constituting the dynamic basis of live. Enzymes therefore, accomplish the most universal and basic functions in all living creatures. This catalytic function, although submitted to the same natural laws that control the functioning of the rest of the catalyzers, is differentiated in a series of properties such as efficiency, diversity and specificity of the catalysis, as well as in the capacity of these biomolecules to regulate their own catalytic activity.
The efficiency of enzyme catalyzed reactions is extraordinary, whereas the rate increase reached is in the order of 1010 - 10 20 times, higher than for other catalyzers. These reactions pass in relatively mild conditions, temperatures below 1000C, atmospheric pressure and pH values near neutrality. Due to the action specificity of the enzymes, only specific substrates can be transformed, and only one type of reaction takes place; there are no side reactions or byproducts created in the process. For this reason the enzymatic reactions give a great yield. These characteristics are not present in any non-biological catalyzer.
The enzyme catalytic action is regulated, submitted to controls of different nature, that go from the genetic control at the enzymatic protein synthesis, up to the activity regulation caused by reversible conformational changes of the enzyme molecule, due to specific signals. This allows a wide variation of the range rate according to the cellular conditions. On the other hand, enzymes catalyze a wide spectrum of reaction types. Their versatility, in this sense, allows the possibility that in a cell, reactions of different natures can occur, such as: hydrolytic, oxidative, group transfers, among others.
The enzymatic catalysis theory should explain these characteristics. In the reactions catalyzed by enzymes the activation energy diminishes, and the probability of an adequate orientation of the reagents increases; these factors work at the same tine and produce higher rates. Any chemical reaction is accompanied by a continuous energetic change. The initial state is more stable and has less energy, where the longitudes, bond angles and electronic distribution of the reactants have equilibrium values. These parameters are distorted as long as the reaction takes place, and as a consequence, the energy is increased. In the transition state the energetic content of the system reaches a maximum. As long as the reaction goes on, the energy of the system diminishes until it reaches a minimum. The energy necessary for the reaction to occur. i..e., to achieve the transition state, is the activation energy, represented by the difference between the initial state of the reaction and the transition state. Catalyzers increase the rates of the reactions, diminishing this activation energy.

Source text - Spanish El Diccionario de la Lengua Española reconoce la validez de escribir sarpullido o salpullido, y con una definición del término a todas luces incompleta dice que es una "erupción leve y pasajera en el cutis, formada por muchos granitos o ronchas". El origen de la palabra, precisa, es gallego-portugués. Ahondando en las raíces del vocablo, María Moliner, en su afamado diccionario (versión electrónica, 1996), las sitúa con esta expresión: "Quizás del latín serpúsculus, de sérpere, propagarse".
Precisiones idiomáticas aparte, lo cierto es que en los meses de inclemente verano -en el eterno verano en que vive nuestro país--, el sarpullido parece despertar interés, al menos por las no pocas cartas que han llegado a la redacción, incluidas las de algunas madres preocupadas por el sarpullido en los bebés. Esta es la razón por la cual, aunque ofrecemos un panorama general de la entidad, hemos invitado a una dermatóloga pediatra.
Sumido en las asépticas definiciones de los textos, quise poner en letra viva el tema de nuestra consulta. ¿Qué es en verdad el sarpullido?, pregunté a la profesora Josefina de la Moneda Pire, jefa del Servicio de Dermatología del Hospital Pediátrico William Soler, quien no oculta su orgullo ni amor por la profesión cuando dice que "llevo 30 años dedicada a la especialidad".
Cuando se produce un aumento del sudor -explica con sencillez-, éste se retiene en los conductos de las glándulas sudoríparas e impide su secreción normal. Esta presión ocasiona la ruptura de los conductos y el taponamiento de los poros, lo que provoca la inflamación de la piel y una picazón intensa.
Esta alteración se denomina miliaria rubra o roja, que no es más que lo que conocemos como sarpullido o salpullido, y es su forma clínica más común, aclara la doctora De la Moneda.
Translation - English Spanish Language Dictionary recognizes the validity of writing in spanish either sarpullido o salpullido, and defines this term incompletely saying that is "a slight and passing skin eruption, formed by many spots or swellings". The precise origin of the word is Galician-Portuguese. Going deep into the word roots, María Moliner, in her famous dictionary (electronic version, 1996), locates them within this expression: "Maybe of the latin serpúsculus, of sérpere, to spread".
Aside idiomatic precissions, the fact is that in the months of harsh summer- in the overlasting summer that our country lives –rash seems to arouse interest, at least for the amount of setter that arrived to the editorial office, including those of some mothers worried by their babies rash. This is the reason why, even though we are offering a general view of it, we have invited to a paediatric dermatologist.
Plunged in the text aseptic definitions, I wanted to put in live letters the subject of our consultation. What is rash truly?, I asked professor Josefina de la Moneda Pire, head of the Dermatology Service of the Paediatric Hospital William Soler, that is not hiding from us her pride and love for the profession when she says "I’ve been 30 years devoted to this speciality".
When there is a rise in the amount of sweat – she explains plainly-, it is retained in the conducts of the sweat glands and prevents its normal secretion. This pressure causes the conducts break-up and the tamponage of the pores, causing skin immflamation and an intense itching.
This alteration is called miliaria rubra or red, it is not more than what is known as a rash or eruption, and it is the most common clinic form, as Doctor De la Moneda clarifies
