Enzymes are catalysts in the breaking down of substances by bonding with them briefly. In the case of Hydrogen peroxide they break it down into water and oxygen much faster than it would naturally occur. Inside the body they are used to break down food and to start off the digestion process. Because they are proteins they are affected by the pH level of the substance and also the temperature of the substance. The last important note is that obviously the concentration of the enzyme will affect how well it works.They are substrate specific which is illustrated by the lock and key hypothesis.

What properties of enzymes give rise to their ability to distinguish one substrates from another?
Shape of the enzyme
How do enzymes contribute to health?
Their energy-producing properties are responsible for not only the digestion of nutrients, but their absorption, transportation, metabolization, and elimination as well.
How does enzymes speed up the reaction?
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.
What are the properties of microbial enzymes?
1) High Productivity 2) Ease of culture 3) Ease with which they can be genetically modified to produce particular products
What has the author Richard John Rench written?
Richard John Rench has written: 'The purification and properties of the RNA polymerase enzymes from Saccharomyces cerevisiae'
What determines an enzymes function and how many functions does on enzymes have?
The arrangement of it's active site. Some enzymes just provide a place where two reactants can be in a protected environment for the reaction, some enzymes stress bonds of reactant to lower the reaction activation energy and some enzymes have catalytic properties due to the arrangement of the various amino acid R groups in their active site. One enzyme, one substrate(s) and one function. So, many different classes of enzymes. Very much so
Who stated that all not all enzymes are proteins?
Thomas R. Cech and Sydney Altman received the 1989 Nobel Prize in Chemistry "for their discovery of catalytic properties of RNA".

Contains superoxide dismutase giving antioxidant properties, Vitamins C and E, calcium, iron, all essential amino acids, vitamin C, the flavonoids, vitamin B 12, and many enzymes and minerals.
What has the author Brian Paul Klubek written?
Brian Paul Klubek has written: 'Physical and chemical properties of some Bdellovibrio extracellular proteases' -- subject(s): Proteolytic enzymes
