Understanding Enzymes: Catalysts of Biological Reactions

Enzymes are specialized proteins that serve as catalysts, accelerating biochemical reactions without being permanently altered themselves. They exhibit specificity for their substrates, meaning each enzyme catalyzes a particular reaction and can often be reused in multiple cycles. Enzymes function by weakening the bonds in substrates, which helps lower the activation energy needed for reactions to occur. Key examples include sucrase, lactase, and maltase, all crucial for various metabolic processes.

    1. 1 Enzymes

    2. 2 What Are Enzymes? Most enzymes are Proteins (tertiary and quaternary structures) Act as Catalyst to accelerates a reaction Not permanently changed in the process

    3. 3 Enzymes Are specific for what they will catalyze Are Reusable End in ase -Sucrase -Lactase -Maltase

    4. 4 How do enzymes Work? Enzymes work by weakening bonds which lowers activation energy
