• It improves the reactions that take place in the body as a result of various life processes.
• It aids the substrate by providing a surface on which the reaction may take place.

Enzyme Characteristics:

• Enzymes work as biological catalysts, accelerating reaction rates.
• Enzymes transform one type of energy into another that is more helpful.
• Cofactors are substances that assist enzymes.
• Enzymes have a high level of specificity.
• At the completion of the reaction, the enzyme remains unchanged.
• Enzymes can also function as catalysts.
