Enzymes
- Manufactured in cells, their creation is controlled by the nucleus
- Activation energy - Minimum energy required for a reaction to occur
- Remains unchanged at the end of the reaction
- Recycled
- Models
- Lock and Key
- Induced Fit
- Structure
- Large proteins (long chains of amino acids) that are folded into a 3D shape
- Function
- Biological catalysts (accelerate metabolic processes)
- Substrate - reactants, chemicals which are going to react.
- Lowers the activation energy of the reaction
