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.
Mechanisms of Enzyme action. Enzymes are essential proteins that are found in all living cells. They have two main functions: 1) they act as catalysts ( a catalyst is a chemical which speeds up a chemical reaction ) 2) they control all the chemical reactions going on inside the cell. Every cell has many different enzymes. Each enzyme is specific : it only affects one particular chemical.
