In living cells, WHAT serve as biological catalysts. Each acts on a specific substance called the enzyme's substrate and each catalyzes only one reaction. As catalysts, enzymes typically accelerate chemical reactions. The enzyme molecule has an active site, a region that will interact with a specific chemical substance.
Experiment 10 â Enzymes Enzymes are proteins that act as catalysts for biological reactions. Enzymes, like all catalysts, speed up reactions without being used up themselves. They do this by lowering the activation energy of a reaction. All biochemical reactions are catalyzed by enzymes.
