Question

How to distinguish enzymes from others?

Answer 1

Enzymes:

1. Enzymes are proteins that assist our bodies' chemical reactions to move forward more quickly.
2. For several processes, including digestion and liver function, enzymes are crucial.
3. Healthcare professionals can check for injuries and diseases using the enzymes in our blood.
4. Enzyme characteristics include the following:
   1. Compared to uncatalyzed reactions, they can speed up biochemical reactions by up to 10 million times.
   2. Enzyme-catalyzed reactions reach equilibrium quickly
   3. They function in diluted aqueous solutions, at a certain pH, and at the ideal temperatures.
   4. When acting on substrates, they are extremely selective and focused.
   5. Coenzymes, which are non-protein components required for the activity of various active enzymes, are associated with the protein structure.
