Enzymes are specialized proteins (and in some cases RNA molecules) that act as catalysts in living organisms. They speed up the chemical reactions required for life by lowering the. Enzymes act catalytically and accelerate the rate of chemical reactions occurring in biological systems and involving biological substrate. Most enzymes also do not participate in the. Enzymes are biological catalysts that increase the rate of chemical reactions inside cells by lowering the activation energy required for the reaction to proceed. Enzymes function by providing a specific environment where chemical reactions can occur more rapidly. Each enzyme has a unique region, the active site, which is precisely shaped to bind to.
