Expert Solution
Step 1

Enzymes are protein molecules that catalyze the biological reaction at mild conditions such as pH and temperature around physiological pH. Enzymes are fascinating molecules because they speed up the biological reaction or make them faster enough to work in the conditions of physiological range.
