What are the large complex protein molecules that modify chemical reactions?

The large complex protein molecules that modify chemical reactions are called enzymes. Enzymes act as catalysts, speeding up chemical reactions by lowering the activation energy required for the reaction to occur. They bind to specific molecules called substrates and facilitate the conversion of substrates into products.
