Ensyymi
Ensyymi is a Finnish word that translates to "enzyme" in English. Enzymes are biological molecules, typically proteins, that act as catalysts in biochemical reactions. They accelerate the rate of these reactions by lowering the activation energy required for them to occur. Enzymes are highly specific, meaning each enzyme usually catalyzes only one or a very limited range of reactions. This specificity is due to the unique three-dimensional structure of the enzyme, particularly its active site, which binds to a specific substrate molecule.
Enzymes play crucial roles in virtually all biological processes, from digestion and metabolism to DNA replication
The activity of enzymes can be influenced by various factors, including temperature, pH, and the presence of
