Enzymes

Enzymes 

Enzymes are biological molecule (proteins) that act as catalyst and help complex reactions occur everywhere in life (living organism). Let’s say we ate a piece of meat. Proteases would go to work and help break down the peptide bond between the amino acid.  Enzymes are very specific and only work with certain substrate:

As enzyme concentration increase, the rate of reaction (ROR) of reaction also increases until no more substrate left. Rate of reaction can be affected by concentration of substance, temperature, Ph level, and other substance that we called as “inhibitor” that is why it is important to measure the initial rate of reaction; because it represent the real activity of enzyme.
