I am doing some monitoring with prometheus and is trying to understand how to properly use the rate functions. Premise is this; I have a counter, configuration for this is set to ingest new values...
Enzymes. Enzymes are proteins, produced by living cells; they catalyze chemical reactions by lowering the activation energy. Activation energy is the energy required for a chemical reaction to occur. Enzymes are generally globular proteins with characteristic three-dimensional shapes.The active site is the binding site for the enzymeâs substrate. Enzymes are specific for substrate molecules.ctivation energy is the energy required for a chemical reaction to occur.

Enzymes accelerate, or catalyze, chemical reactions. The molecules at the beginning of the process 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.ollowing Buchner's example, enzymes are usually named according to the reaction they carry out: the suffix-ase is combined with the name of the substrate (e.g., lactase is the enzyme that cleaves lactose) or to the type of reaction (e.g., DNA polymerase forms DNA polymers).
