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.
Background. The enzyme Catalase. Enzymes are proteins that help a certain chemical process take place. Chemical reactions require a certain amount of energy to take place.In the presence of the enzyme, the amount of energy required for the chemical process to take place is reduced.This happens because the enzymes bond with certain substrates to produce the end products.The reduction in the energy level helps to make the process happen faster.n the presence of the enzyme, the amount of energy required for the chemical process to take place is reduced.
