... Enzymes are biological catalysts. Recall that a catalyst speeds up the rate of a reaction by decreasing the activation energy needed for the reaction to occur. A catalyst remains unchanged in a reaction and does not affect the amount of product formed, but only the rate at which the product forms. A ...
