Published:April 20, 2007
Summary
Virtually all chemical reactions in biological systems are catalyzed by macromolecules called enzymes. Chemical reactions in vivo rarely proceed at perceptible rates in the absence of enzymes while reaction rates increase as much as a million times when enzymes are present. These proteins are among the most remarkable biomolecules known. The name ‘enzyme’, meaning ‘in yeast’, was not used until...
