Answer

Enzymes are functional proteins, and they act as catalysts in several important biological reactions. An enzyme action is the process by which the enzyme catalyzes the reaction. First the enzyme binds with the substrate and forms an enzyme-substrate complex. Then the enzyme-substrate complex goes through a chemical modification, and the final product is created. Finally, the final product is produced, and the enzyme remains unreacted.
