Nope, it's an element. It's also a co-factor in something I can't remember the name of... However, definitely NOT an enzyme. Enzymes have to be proteins.
enzyme-substrate complex
Enzyme replacement therapy is generally effective in treating enzyme deficiencies by providing the missing enzyme to the body. It can help improve symptoms and quality of life for patients with enzyme deficiencies.
A noncompetitive enzyme inhibitor works by binding to the enzyme at a site other than the active site, causing a change in the enzyme's shape. This change makes it harder for the substrate to bind to the enzyme, reducing its activity.
Such an enzyme is called a restriction endonuclease
The substrates are converted into products, which are released.
A catalyst like platinum is a non-biological substance that speeds up chemical reactions by providing an alternative pathway with lower activation energy. Enzymes, on the other hand, are biological catalysts that are specific to certain reactions and are essential for biological processes. Enzymes are made up of proteins and can be regulated by the cells that produce them, while catalysts like platinum are typically inorganic and do not have this level of specificity or regulation.
enzyme-substrate complex
in an enzyme-substrate complex, the enzyme acts on the substrate .
An enzyme is a protein

An angiotensin converting enzyme is an enzyme which catalyzes the creation of angiotensin.
the lipase enzyme :)
The place where the substrate and the enzyme meet to allow the enzyme to function.
When an enzyme and substrate come together, it is called the enzyme-substrate complex. This complex is a temporary intermediate state in which the enzyme binds to the substrate to catalyze a chemical reaction.
Enzyme activators like cofactors or substrates can switch on enzyme activity by binding to the enzyme and promoting its function. Conversely, inhibitors can switch off or reduce enzyme activity by binding to the enzyme and preventing its normal function.
All enzyme's are catalysts for certain chemical reactions. Each enzyme will only work with a certain substrate one analogy being that the enzyme is a key and the substrate is a keyhole, and each enzyme has a unique enzyme.
There is no enzyme by the name "fructase." However, an enzyme called fructosidase catalyzes the hydrolysis of fructose-containing compounds.
