Best Answer

Enzyme will catalyse when the substrate come close enough to interact with enzyme's active site (proximity and orientation). The rate of enzymatic reactions is influenced by the condition such as temperature or pH that favors the chemical environment, and when a co-factor is already bound (not for all enzymes).

How does the enzyme catalyze the reaction?

An enzyme catalyzes the reaction by changing the shapes of the molecules that stress the bonds holding together. Therefore the bond is weaker and will break down faster.
