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.

In some enzymes, no amino acids are directly involved in catalysis; instead, the enzyme contains sites to bind and orient catalytic cofactors. Enzyme structures may also contain allosteric sites where the binding of a small molecule causes a conformational change that increases or decreases activity.ome household products use enzymes to speed up chemical reactions: enzymes in biological washing powders break down protein, starch or fat stains on clothes, and enzymes in meat tenderizer break down proteins into smaller molecules, making the meat easier to chew.
