Enzymes lower the activation energy necessary to transform a reactant into a product. On the left is a reaction that is not catalyzed by an enzyme (red), and on the right is one that is (green).

Because of their prominent role, numerous diseases are directly linked to specific enzyme-catalysed processes, either caused by erroneous enzyme activity or lack of activity for a given ...

As with many chemical reactions, the rate of an enzyme-catalysed reaction increases as the temperature increases. However, at high temperatures the rate decreases again because the enzyme becomes ...

A simple chemical reaction with a single substrate shows a linear relationship between the rate of formation of product and the concentration of substrate, as shown below: For an enzyme-catalysed ...

Analysis of biomolecular structures (proteins and nucleic acids) to understand relationships between structure and biological function. Mechanistic analysis of the six types of enzyme catalysed ...
