Life's fashionable for an enzyme (6)
I believe the answer is:
pepsin
'for an enzyme' is the definition.
(pepsin is a kind of enzyme)
'life's fashionable' is the wordplay.
'life's' becomes 'pep's' (pep is a kind of life).
'fashionable' becomes 'in' (in can mean fashionable or trendy).
'peps'+'in'='PEPSIN'
(Another definition for pepsin that I've seen is " enzyme".)
I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
