Key Points: Biomolecules in the Cell > Enzymes

1. Enzymes are biological (protein) catalysts that increase the rate of biochemical reactions without being consumed.

2. Most enzymes are globular proteins and show high specificity due to their unique 3D structure and active site.

3. Enzymes bind with substrate to form enzyme–substrate complex, then release product and remain unchanged.

4. Enzyme activity is affected by temperature and pH, and reactions are usually reversible.

5. Types of enzymes:

  • Simple enzymes (only protein)
  • Conjugated enzymes (protein + cofactor)

6. Examples of enzymes and their functions:

  • Amylase: Starch → glucose
  • Maltase: Maltose → glucose
  • Lactase: Lactose → glucose + galactose
  • Invertase: Sucrose → glucose + fructose
  • Pepsin: Proteins → amino acids
