dc.description.abstract | Enzymes are biological macromolecules capable of accelerating the rate of reactions by factors as much as a million or more over the uncatalyzed reactions and are themselves not consumed in the process. Enzymes drive processes of life in all living things because most reactions in living things do not take place at an appreciable rate without enzymes. With some exceptions, living things are organized structures capable of life forms - movement, reproduction, nutrition, response to stimuli, growth and excretion; and all these functions are made possible through catalytic activities of enzymes. Life is about chemical reactions and chemical reactions in living organisms are about life, all of which are catalyzed by enzymes. | |
