Introduction:

Enzymes, essentially, are proteins that are present in the body. These biomolecules catalyze various functions without actually being part of a chemical reaction. Thus, when the reaction is over, they are reused for another set of the same chemical reactions. There are a different set of enzymes for each metabolic process of the body. For example, glycolysis will have a different set of enzymes, while oxidation will utilize different enzymes.
