About this document
Understanding Enzymes: Functions & Factors by Gnius NoPro is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Enzymes are protein catalysts that increase the rate of chemical reactions without being changed. They are specific, affect reaction rates, remain unchanged, and are affected by temperature and pH. Enzymes have protein and cofactor portions and contain an active site that binds substrates. They function through a lock-and-key or induced fit mechanism and can be activated or inhibited.
