Enzymatic and enzymic both appear in scientific papers. I always use "enzymatic synthesis" of something. "Enzymic synthesis" appears in relatively old papers. I am not sure what the difference between them is.
I agree:enzymatic is better. Maybe the unic difference could be in the "English language spirit".
Both are synonyms.....

Enzymic Definition
adjective
Of, relating to, characterized by, or caused by enzyme
Supplement
Word origin: Medieval Greek enzumos (leavened)
Synonym(s):
enzymatic
Related term(s):
enzyme
Enzymic process
I guess "enzymatic" should be referred to anything that is related to the ACTION of the enzyme while enzymic is thing related to the ENZYME itself. This could be arguable but that would be what I will use.

It is all english language thing. While enzymatic is more accurate than enzymic. However, enzymic is sort of new trend.
Being synonyms ,both terms are acceptable for scientific publications or references
Enzymic (enzymatic) process
Any chemical reaction or series of reactions catalysed by an enzyme or enzymes is described as an enzymic or enzymatic process. An enzyme is a protein which acts as a highly selective catalyst permitting reactions to take place rapidly in living cells under physiological conditions.

Dear both the terms are reported in literature, however former one is extensivly used. also better to chose the term that ENZYMICALLY fits your sentence.
Cheers!

"Enzymatic" is appropriate word . generally both are same but u maximum authors prefer enzymatic word rather than enzymic.
The word 'enzymic' pertains to the enzyme molecule
itself, whereas 'enzymatic' pertains to the actions of the enzyme on
the specific substrate or nonspecific substrate.
I do not agree with the statement given by Ujjawal. It should rather be more clear.
As per my knowledge the term "Enzymatic" is more relevent, because the kinetics of the enzymes are called as enzymatic in biochemical analysis.
Maybe it depends on context. Explanations by M. Rajamohamed Kalanjiam and
Selvaraj Jagannathan are are completely acceptable and correct.
In my opinion, ENZYMATIC is appropriate. In my perception, ENZYMATIC is "by enzyme" or "through enzyme" and ENZYMIC is "in enzyme".
In my opinion, the statement provided by Ranadeep is absolutely acceptable by all the concerns.
I understand Chris Freeman at Bangor, UK, once used the word "enzymic" just as an "adjective" to describe the chemical process of lignin-containing peat degradation catalised by a specific enzyme in half-dried wetlands.
