Some of the most common macromolecules in the human body include carbohydrates (sugars), proteins (which constitute enzymes in their final form) and nucleic acids (DNA & RNA).
Enzymes are specific protein molecules that catalyze a specific chemical reaction (facilitate the chemical reaction without being permanently changed in the process) by binding to a specific molecule called a substrate molecule. For example, amylase is an enzyme (found in your saliva and small intestine) that breaks starch (polysaccharide) molecules down into simple (monosaccharide) sugars like glucose. In this case, the starch molecules are the
