An enzyme can catalyse a reaction that synthesises new substances

|
|
In a breaking-down reaction (decomposition), enzymes break down enzyme/substrate complex
|
Detailed explanation-1: -Enzymes include detoxification, muscle building, and breaking down food particles during digestion. Enzymes actually accelerate the rate of a chemical reaction to support life. Enzymes are very helpful in performing important functions of our body.
Detailed explanation-2: -A substrate enters the active site of the enzyme. This forms the enzyme-substrate complex. The reaction then occurs, converting the substrate into products and forming an enzyme products complex. The products then leave the active site of the enzyme.
Detailed explanation-3: -Enzymes are proteins that have the ability to bind substrate in their active site and then chemically modify the bound substrate, converting it to a different molecule-the product of the reaction. Substrates bind to enzymes just like ligands bind to proteins.
