A bit of work in a search for enzyme (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

kinase

'for enzyme' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'a bit of work in a search' is the wordplay.
'a bit of' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'KINASE' is hidden within 'work in a search'.

(Another definition for kinase that I've seen is " Enzyme; sea ink (anagram)".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
