Summary Introduction

To determine:

The mechanism by which enzyme functions in a chemical reaction

Introduction:

Enzymes are protein molecules that are involved in the catalysis of biochemical reactions. The enzymes increase the rate of reaction by lowering the activation energy of the reaction thus, aiding in formation of products quickly.
