- Enzyme | Definition, Mechanisms, Nomenclature | Britannica
Enzyme, a catalyst that regulates the rate at which chemical reactions proceed in living organisms without itself being altered in the process Most critically, enzymes catalyze all aspects of cell metabolism Learn more about enzymes in this article
- Enzyme - Wikipedia
An enzyme ( ˈɛnzaɪm ) is a protein that acts as a biological catalyst by accelerating chemical reactions The molecules upon which enzymes may act are called substrates, and the enzyme converts the substrates into different molecules known as products
- Enzymes - Definition, Examples, Function - Science Notes and . . .
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 activation energy, all without being consumed in the process
- 5. 2: Enzymes - Biology LibreTexts
Enzymes are biological catalysts that accelerate chemical reactions by lowering the activation energy Enzymes are proteins consisting of one or more polypeptide chains Enzymes have an active site that provides a unique chemical environment, made up of certain amino acid R groups (residues)
