Mechanism Of Enzyme Catalysis

Explanation

Mechanism of Enzyme Catalysis

Enzymes and Catalysis

Enzymes are proteins that reduce the energy required to achieve the transition state. Enzymes lower the required activation energy for a reaction to occur through a process called catalysis. A biochemical reaction when an enzyme is present is called a catalysed reaction. Catalysis can occur in various ways.

Enzymes can use the transfer of protons or electrons to the reactants to modify the state of the reactants. Enzymes also use an electric charge to stabilise the state of the reactants. Enzymes, however, do not modify the final products of the reaction.
