Introduction

• Enzyme are biomolecule either protein or RNA that catalyze a specific chemical reaction.
• Don’t affect the equilibrium of reaction but enhance the rate of reaction by providing a reaction path with lower activation energy.

Terminologies

1. Apoenzyme : Protein part of enzyme
2. Cofactor: Organic or inorganic molecule that apoenzyme requires for the activity.
3. Prosthetic group: Similar to cofactor and is tightly bound to an apoenzyme.
4. Isoenzyme : Enzyme that catalyze the same type
