An enzyme is commonly described as a biological catalyst. It facilitates biochemical reactions by lowering the activation energy required for the reaction to occur, thereby increasing the reaction rate. Enzymes are typically proteins, though some RNA molecules also exhibit catalytic activity. They are highly specific, meaning each enzyme typically catalyzes a particular reaction or set of related reactions.

Enzyme
The term used for all molecules on which an enzyme acts is "substrate." Substrates bind to the enzyme's active site, where the enzyme catalyzes a biochemical reaction, transforming the substrate into products. Each enzyme is specific to its substrate, allowing for precise regulation of metabolic pathways.

Template Sequence
Enzyme denaturation refers to the alteration of an enzyme's structure, leading to loss of its catalytic activity. This can be induced by factors such as temperature, pH, or chemicals, which disrupt the enzyme's active site and 3D shape. Denaturation usually renders the enzyme nonfunctional.

The term that best describes the shape of an enzyme is "three-dimensional." Enzymes have a specific three-dimensional shape that is crucial for their function in catalyzing biochemical reactions. This shape allows enzymes to bind to specific substrates and facilitate chemical reactions.
