Question

enzymes catalyse biochemical reactions by

Answer 1

Answer) Enzymes are proteins that acts as biological catalyst. Enzymes catalyze biochemical reactions by

(a) Lowering the activation energy (minimum amount of energy required to activate molecules or atoms that can perform chemical reaction or transformation), in this process free energy does not get changed while there is lowering of the energy of transition state so that products can pass,

(b) Reaction catalyzed by binding of enzymes with reactant molecules known as substrate. The part where substrate attaches is known as active site, a general reaction could be substrate binds to active site and forms enzyme substrate complex, because of this product is developed and later, products leave the active site of an enzyme.
