Enzyme catalysis is the increase in the rate of a process by a biological molecule, an "enzyme". Most enzymes are proteins, and most such processes are...

the enzyme converts the substrates into different molecules known as products. Almost all metabolic processes in the cell need enzyme catalysis in order...

components are not in the same phase. Enzymes and other biocatalysts are often considered as a third category. Catalysis is ubiquitous in chemical industry...

for catalysis. The orientation of the substrate and the close proximity between it and the active site is so important that in some cases the enzyme can...

artificial enzyme is a synthetic organic molecule or ion that recreates one or more functions of an enzyme. It seeks to deliver catalysis at rates and...

during catalysis; what changes occur during the reaction; and even the role of particular amino acid residues in the mechanism. Some enzymes change shape...

or by binding to another site on the enzyme such that the enzyme's catalysis of the reaction is blocked. Enzyme inhibitors may bind reversibly or irreversibly...

In chemistry, homogeneous catalysis is catalysis where the catalyst is in same phase as reactants, principally by a soluble catalyst a in solution. In...

interfaces. Low-barrier hydrogen bonds have been proposed to be relevant to enzyme catalysis in two types of circumstance. Firstly, a low-barrier hydrogen bond...

processes that have been identified as influenced by quantum effects: enzyme catalysis, sensory processes, energy transference, and information encoding....
