Summary Introduction

To analyze:

The effect of lowering of activation energy on the rate and direction of the reaction.

Introduction:

Enzymes are protein molecules that function to enhance the rate of reaction by significantly reducing their energy of activation. Due to this reason, the enzymes are also referred to as “biocatalysts.”

Blurred answer
