Enzymes, which are proteins, play a crucial role in everyday life processes. Without enzymes, the digestion of food, such as carbohydrates, fats, and sugars, would take years to generate a usable amount of energy. Enzymes are best known as biological catalysts because they accelerate biochemical reactions. For example, pepsin, an enzyme, when released in the stomach helps in the digestion of proteins. An enzyme binds to a substrate (reactant) in a very specific manner, forming an enzyme-substrate complex. T
