ensymitoiminta
Ensymitoiminta refers to the process by which enzymes catalyze reactions. Enzymes are biological catalysts, typically proteins, that significantly speed up the rate of specific chemical reactions without being consumed in the process. This acceleration is crucial for virtually all biological processes, from digestion and metabolism to DNA replication and muscle contraction.
The mechanism of ensymitoiminta involves the enzyme binding to its specific substrate at a region called the
The efficiency and specificity of ensymitoiminta are remarkable. Each enzyme is typically designed to catalyze only
