This means that I will talk about what enzymes are, how being in certain conditions affects the enzyme itself. I will also talk about how substances can increase the % transmission between the enzyme and the substrate. What are enzymes? The catalysis that takes place in organisms is defined as the acceleration of a chemical reaction by some substance which itself undergoes no permanent chemical change. These kinds of catalysts, which are in biochemical reactions, are called enzymes. Enzymes are responsible for almost all of the chemical reactions in living organisms. Without enzymes, these reactions take place at a rate that is far too slow for the pace of metabolism. An active enzyme could make a certain reaction speed up, but not all living things need all the...
