Enzymes act as biological catalysts, speeding up reactions without being used up Enzymes are specific, with a shape determined by their 3⁰ structure and an active site where substrates bind Enzymes reduce activation energy, hold substrates together, and strain substrate bonds to speed up reactions Factors like temperature, pH, enzyme and substrate concentration, and cofactors affect enzyme activity Understanding enzyme-controlled reactions and their factors is crucial for practical applications and studying enzyme kinetics
