ENZYMES AND THEIR ROLE IN METABOLISM
Keywords:
enzymes, metabolism, biological catalysts, enzymatic reactions, cellular metabolism, enzyme activity.Abstract
This article discusses the role and importance of enzymes in metabolic processes of living organisms. The chemical nature of enzymes, their mechanisms of action, and their role in accelerating metabolic reactions are analyzed. In addition, factors affecting enzyme activity and their practical significance in medicine and biotechnology are examined. The conclusion summarizes the importance of enzymes as key biological catalysts in metabolic regulation [1,2,3].
