Questions and Answers

What are enzymes?

Biological catalysts, proteins that act as catalysts for biological reactions, they speed up the rate of chemical reactions without undergoing any change.

What is the structure of most enzymes?

Most enzymes are water-soluble globular proteins, which are usually spherical in structure and are the most abundant types of proteins.

What are the functions of globular proteins?

Globular proteins act as enzymes, messengers, transporters, and regulators. They are generally soluble in water.
