Enzyme

• proteins that speed up chemical reactions

• Changing substances by breaking and forming bonds (includes hydrolysis and dehydration reactions)

• the capacity for doing work

• the energy needed to start a chemical reaction

Denature

• the region of an enzyme that attaches to a substrate

• a change in the shape of a protein (such as an enzyme) that can be caused by changes in temperature or pH (among other things).

• substance that can bind to an enzyme and prevent the substrate from properly binding

• macromolecules that contain carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen, include enzymes
