Enzyme defect: A disorder resulting from a deficiency (or functional abnormality) of an enzyme. For example, newborns are routinely screened for certain enzyme defects, such as phenylketonuria (PKU) and galactosemia.nzyme defect: A disorder resulting from a deficiency (or functional abnormality) of an enzyme.

It takes Saturn 29.45 years (or 10,759 days) to orbit the Sun. Astronomers call the length of time an object takes to go around the Sun its orbital period. So the orbital period of Saturn is 29.45 years. Saturn. Image credit: Hubble. One of the interesting facts about Saturn is that its axis is tilted off the plane of the ecliptic (just like Earth).
How Long Is A Day On Saturn? Date: May 3, 2006 Source: Particle Physics & Astronomy Research Council Summary: Measuring the rotation period of a rocky planet like the Earth is easy, but similar measurements for planets made of gas, such as Saturn, pose problems. Researchers from JPL, Imperial College London and UCLA present new results in this week's Nature (4th May 2006) that may solve the mystery. Using the magnetometer instrument on Cassini, they have found a clear period in the magnetic field of the planet that they believe indicates a day of 10 hours and 47 minutes.
