I am doing some monitoring with prometheus and is trying to understand how to properly use the rate functions. Premise is this; I have a counter, configuration for this is set to ingest new values...
Enzymes. Enzymes are proteins, produced by living cells; they catalyze chemical reactions by lowering the activation energy. Activation energy is the energy required for a chemical reaction to occur. Enzymes are generally globular proteins with characteristic three-dimensional shapes.The active site is the binding site for the enzymeâs substrate. Enzymes are specific for substrate molecules.ctivation energy is the energy required for a chemical reaction to occur.

Amylase is an example of an enzyme. Amylase is found in our saliva and is responsible for starting to break down the starch that we eat. So amylase is an enzyme that carries out the specific reaction of breaking down starch into a simple sugar.An enzyme breaks down larger molecules into smaller molecules like sugars. -An enzyme is specific for its substrate: the enzyme that breaks down starch won't be able to break proteins down. -An enzyme is reusable, it doesn't get used up in the reaction, so it can perform it over and over again.
