Summary Introduction
Introduction: An enzyme is a substance that acts as a macromolecular biological catalyst in living things. It is made up of proteins that folded into complex forms and found throughout the body. The reaction is speed by the enzymes by reducing activation energy. Thus, it drops the barrier that avoids the occurrence of reactions.
