Enzymes are biological catalysts that accelerate chemical reactions in living organisms. They are typically proteins, although some RNA molecules can also function as enzymes. Enzymes are crucial for various biological processes, including metabolism, digestion, and DNA replication. Each enzyme is specific to a particular substrate, the molecule it acts upon, and is often named after the substrate or the reaction it catalyzes. For example, amylase breaks down starch, and lactase breaks down lactose.
Enzymes work by lowering the activation energy required for a reaction to occur, thereby increasing the reaction
Enzymes are influenced by various factors, including temperature, pH, and the presence of inhibitors. Optimal conditions
Enzymes play a vital role in maintaining homeostasis and ensuring the proper functioning of living organisms.
