What happens when an enzyme catalyzes a reaction?

When an enzyme catalyzes a reaction, it lowers the activation energy required for the reaction to occur, allowing it to proceed more quickly. Enzymes bind to substrates, facilitating their interaction and forming enzyme-substrate complexes. This leads to the conversion of substrates into products, which are then released from the enzyme.
