Enzymes are vital proteins that catalyze chemical reactions in biological systems. Their unique amino acid sequences dictate their three-dimensional structures and functions, particularly at the active site where substrates are transformed. Enzyme specificity is crucial for efficient catalysis, while cofactors and allosteric regulation modulate their activity. Ribozymes, RNA molecules with catalytic properties, also play essential roles in cellular processes, underscoring the diversity of biological catalysts.
