enzima que destruye proteínas o células
protein- or cell-destroying enzyme


Explanation:
this is undoubtedly a typo for "enzima". Other colleagues suggested "on top of", "not only"... but that would be too weird in a medical context

  -> Gracias, Juan.
agree  Carol Chaparro: Although Remy Arce's answer is correct as well, this answer translates the whole idea more concisely and in a more appropriate way. That is where we as translators sometimes get into trouble if we are just looking at one word instead of the whole idea.

Explanation:
claro! convengamos que la colega no supo escribirlo de la manera correcta, en ciertos contextos hasta podria ser aceptable sobre todo en el lenguaje coloquial. Pero como la mayoria de uds colegas, lo mas correcto es lo de "enzyme..."... Disculpas por mi mala interpretacion.. Errar es humano no?
