Experiment conducted at: university of waterloo, stc 4018. A key role player in most chemical reactions is known to be an enzyme. The ultimate responsibility of an enzyme is to increase the rate of reaction taking place to be a catalyst in other words (alberts et. al, 2003). The rate at which the covalent bonds that link subunits together are broken down faster with the aid of digestive enzymes. The structure and mechanisms of enzymes vary greatly but a simplistic explanation shows that enzymes are activated upon contact with substrates. A common analogy suggests a key and lock linkage between the substrate and enzyme. (g sp ri, v rnai, szappanos, perczel, 2010). The diversity of enzymes vary greatly as recent evidence proves the importance of inactive enzymes called pseudoproteases, (reynolds,
