An enzyme is simply a protein (a folded chain of amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins). Generally, they're extremely long and folded chains, often in excess of 500 amino acids! These chains generally fold themselves because of chemical/magnetic forces between the amino acids. Sort of like a wire coil or accordion... if you let go of it, it springs back to an original position.
What are Enzymes... An enzyme is a protein that acts as a catalyst. The enzyme is responsible for accelerating the rate of a reaction in which various substrates are converted to products through the formation of an enzyme-substrate complex.o enzymes break down any molecule or just specific ones and how specific do they get: (Above). The specificity of an enzyme for it's substrate is generally a function of the enzyme's active site or binding site. The structure of the protein determines the range of substrates or keys that can fit into the lock.
