The American Dental Association recommends that you visit your dentist at least once a year to get a routine examination and cleaning. If you have a history of periodontal disease, you should get your teeth cleaned more often in order to prevent the recurrence of infections or disease.
Making the world better, one answer at a time. Enzymes act as catalysts, and they almost always affect a specific reaction. Enzymes are proteinaceous biocatalysts that catalyze chemical reactions occurring in the living cell. Enzymes act as catalysts, and they almost always affect a specific reaction.<br /><br />
Enzymes /ËÉnzaÉªmz/ are macromolecular biological catalysts. Enzymes accelerate, or catalyze, chemical reactions. The molecules at the beginning of the process upon which enzymes may act are called substrates and the enzyme converts these into different molecules, called products. Almost all metabolic processes in the cell need enzymes in order to occur at rates fast enough to sustain life. The set of enzymes made in a cell determines which metabolic pathways occur in that cell. The study of enzymes is called enzymology. Enzymes are known to catalyze more than 5,000 biochemical reaction types.
