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.
Enzymes are large biomolecules that are responsible for many chemical reactions that are necessary to sustain life. Enzyme is a protein molecule and are biological catalysts. Enzymes increase the rate of the reaction. Enzymes are specific, they function with only one reactant to produce specific products. Enzymes have a three-dimensional structure and they utilize organic molecules like biotin and inorganic molecules like metal ions (magnesium ions) for assistance in catalysis.
