Introduction:
Enzymes are
any of numerous proteins or conjugated proteins produced
by living organisms and functioning as biochemical
catalysts. Enzymes can be extracted from plants and many
animal parts.
There are many
different types of enzymes with different properties, so
some may be a better catalyst for a certain chemical
reaction than others.

Because of the
importance of enzymes, we need to know about the factors that
may modify the effects of enzymes.
For example we
need to know if heat, light or acids may alter the enzyme
activity and stop its effects.
