An introduction to Enzymes – specific catalysts. Most are proteins. Few RNAs have enzymatic activity. Catalyze biochemical reactions. Increase the rate of reaction. Act repeatedly. Needed in small quantities. Substrate specific. Normally aqueous medium is required. Have high molecular weights. Catalytic activity is lost when they are denatured or dissociated in to subunits. Some enzymes … Read more
