3.2.1 Enzymes increases the rate of chemical reactions

Enzymes are mostly proteins and only a few kinds of them are RNA

Enzymes are often named as “the name of the substance it effects with” -ase (eg. 脂酶 lipid + ase = lipase)

Enzymes often act as catalyst(催化剂)

Enzyme + Substrate = Enzyme-substrate complex

The state between inactivated & activated is called transition state(过渡态)

The energy used to activate the materials are called activation energy(活化能) (EA)

Enzymes decreases the activation energy needed to activate the materials

The amino acid site that bind with substrates is called activation site(活性位点)

3.2.2 Enzymes bind reactants at active sites, which ate highly specific

这小节没啥要记的，记住这句话就行⬆️

3.2.3 Enzymes are influenced by the environment, activators and inhibitors

1. Enzymes are protein encoded by genes

mutations in gene will change the amino acid position of enzyme

1. Concentration of enzyme & substrate
2. Increasing temperature increases the activity of enzymes up to a point
