Enzymes
Enzymes
- Enzymes are biological catalysts made of proteins that speed up chemical reactions in living organisms without being consumed in the process.
- They are highly specific, meaning each enzyme acts on a particular substrate to produce a specific product.
- They reduce the need for harsh chemicals in industrial processes, making applications more eco-friendly and sustainable.
- Enzymes can be produced naturally by microorganisms or extracted from plants and animals for various scientific and commercial uses.
- Enzymes play essential roles in digestion, metabolism, DNA replication, and energy production in cells.
