Enzymes are proteins that help to speed up the chemical reaction in the body. All enzymes have very specific functions but has only one reaction that it can help. The body would not work without enzymes the molecules couldn't come together unless they came at each with the perfect angle. In order for enzyme to work they need to find the active site of the enzyeme and that is where the reaction will take place. Next the enzyme finds the substrate then the reaction takes place and then the products leave the active site. The two main factors that inhibit enzyme action are temperature and shape.
