Enzymes are macromolecules, usually proteins, produced in living systems, which act as catalysts in physiological reactions. The striking characteristics of enzymes are their catalytic power and specificity. Enzymes have immense catalytic power; they accelerate reacti..

Holoenzyne (protein part) (Non protein part) (Active enzyme) The prosthetic groups which get attached to the enzyme at the time of reaction are known as coenzymes. Active site of an enzyme binds the substrate and forms Enzyme substrate complex. Active site is..

Enzymes control several metabolic pathways and are highly specific in their action. Enzymes like invertase, zymase and maltase are used in manufacture of alcoholic drinks. Some enzymes are used as therapeutic agents. For e.g., streptokinase is used to dissolve ..

involves reactions where catalysts are used. Catalysts are used to accelerate the rate of reaction. Catalysts accelerate the rate of reaction by providing an alternate reaction pathway in which the activation energy is lower. Homogenous catalysis involves catalysts which are of the same p..
