The Power of Enzymes in Your Body

You would be dead in seconds without these tiny biological machines running your body.

We call them enzymes, and they are the protein-based catalysts that speed up every single chemical

reaction inside you. Without them, digesting food or moving muscles would

take way too much energy and time. They work by lowering the activation energy barrier,

basically acting like a shortcut for chemistry. They have a specific active site that

grabs molecules, changes shape slightly to fit perfectly, and transforms them. It is a self-regulating

system too, using inhibitors to stop production when you have enough, making enzymes the

smartest workers you will ever hire.
