Enzymes
An enzyme is an organic catalytic agent produced by a living cell.
A catalyst is a substance that has the capacity to speed up chemical reactions without itself being altered after the reaction is complete.
Characteristics of Enzymes
1. Most enzymes are proteins or proteins combined with other chemical groups, and other enzymes (ribozymes) are composed of RNA.
Since enzymes are proteins or RNA molecules,
a. their specific three-dimensional structure is essential to functionality.
b. they are often denatured by heat and changes in pH.
c. they cannot cross the plasma membrane via simple diffusion.
