Enzyme
In our digestive tract, we can find digestive enzymes that help us break down macromolecules. Enzymes are protein molecules (most of them) that function as biological catalysts. The function of these protein molecules is to increase the rate of a reaction by lowering the energy of activation needed to start certain reaction.

Enzymes: Structure, Function, Classification, And Specificity
Enzymes are proteins that vary widely in their particular structures, functions, and specificity; however, their general themes remain constant. More importantly, most of the biological reactions that occur, are governed by enzymes, making this an important...

Enzymes
ENZYMES Enzymes are biological catalysts which influence biochemical reactions. All enzymes are proteins but all proteins are not enzymes because there are proteins other than enzymes. Ribozymes: These are the Nucleic acids (RNA) that behave like...
