Question
What are enzymes?
✓
Answer
Enzymes are proteins that catalyze biological reaction. They are very specific in nature and catalyze only a particular reaction for a particular substrate. Enzymes are usually named after a particular. For example, the enzyme used to catalyses the hydrolysis of maltose in glucose is named as maltase.
$\text{C}_{12}\text{H}_{22}\text{O}_{11}\xrightarrow[]{\text{Maltase}}2\text{C}_6\text{H}_{12}\text{O}_6\\\text{maltose} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{glucose}$
