- Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up chemical reactions in living organisms
- They lower the activation energy required for reactions to occur, allowing substrates to react faster
- Examples of biological catalysts include proteases, lipases, and DNA Polymerase
- Enzyme action involves substrates finding the active site, binding, and forming the product
- Factors affecting enzyme activity include temperature, pH level, enzyme concentration, and inhibitors such as competitive and non-competitive inhibitors
