Enzým
Enzým is a biological catalyst, a protein that speeds up chemical reactions within living organisms. Without enzymes, these reactions would occur too slowly to sustain life. Enzymes are highly specific, meaning each enzyme typically catalyzes only one type of reaction or a small group of related reactions. This specificity is due to the unique three-dimensional structure of the enzyme, particularly its active site, which binds to a specific molecule called a substrate.
The process begins when the substrate binds to the enzyme's active site, forming an enzyme-substrate complex.
Enzymes are essential for virtually all biological processes, including digestion, metabolism, DNA replication, muscle contraction, and
The activity of enzymes can be influenced by various factors, such as temperature, pH, and the presence
