It depends upon the catalytic properties that make them orders of magnitude more potent than those of the best chemical catalysts. Enzymes as natural catalysts, act by lowering the height of the kinetic barrier; that is, stabilize the transition state with respect to the uncatalyzed reaction. What apparently makes enzymes such powerful catalysts are two related properties: their specificity of substrate binding combined with their optimal arrangement of catalytic groups.

How do enzymes speed up biochemical reaction?

Enzymes speed up biochemical reactions by lowering the activation energy needed for the reaction to occur. They do this by binding to the substrate molecules and stabilizing the transition state, making it easier for the reaction to proceed. Additionally, enzymes can orient substrates in the correct position for the reaction to take place more efficiently.

Do enzymes slow down or speed up a chemical reaction?

No, the sole purpose of enzymes are to increase the rate of a chemical reaction. Even if they are not at an optimal temperature, they will not slow down the reaction. They won't work as efficiently, but it will still be slightly faster than without the enzymes.
