Summary Introduction

Introduction:

Enzymes are the bio-catalysts that help in increasing the rate of chemical reaction. Enzymes have an active site to which the incoming substrate or reactant molecules bind, also referred to as a binding site. And the residues which are present in the active site of the enzyme carries out the catalytic activity. Enzymes play a very important role in a chemical reaction as they speed up the reaction by providing an alternate path of lower energy.
