- 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
