Studies have demonstrated that most chemical reactions in our body require enzymes in order to perform their function. Without the enzymes these reaction will act too slow too keep us alive. The process of food digestion, repairing tissues, organs and cells, all of these require enzymes in order to function and do their job. Enzymes, are biological catalysts that carry out the thousands of chemical reactions that occur in living cells and are considered to be generally large proteins made up of several hundreds amino acids (Enzyme Action Lab). A catalyst is an agent that speeds up chemical reaction by lowering its energy. Each enzyme is specific for a certain reaction due to the special 3D structure of its amino acid sequence.
