Enzyme Function
Enzymes are globular proteins and biological catalysts, which means that they remain
unchanged when lowering the activation energy. The active site has a specific shape due to
the tertiary structure - the properties of R groups interact with the substrate - specificity. A
change in the shape of the protein affects the shape of the active site and the function of the
enzyme.
