Introduction of enzyme
Enzyme, English name enzyme, is the common name of enzyme. Enzyme is another name for enzyme in Japan and Taiwan Province Province, which refers to a kind of high molecular substance with biocatalysis function. Almost all cell activities need the participation of enzymes to improve efficiency. Similar to other non-biological catalysts, enzymes speed up the reaction by reducing the activation energy of chemical reactions (expressed by Ea or δ G).
Most enzymes can increase their catalytic reaction speed by millions of times; In fact, enzymes provide another way with lower activation energy requirements, so that more reactive particles can have kinetic energy not less than activation energy, thus accelerating the reaction rate. As a catalyst, the enzyme itself is not consumed in the reaction process, nor does it affect the chemical balance of the reaction. Enzymes have both positive and negative catalytic effects, which can not only accelerate the reaction rate, but also reduce the reaction rate.
Enzymes cannot be supplemented by oral administration. Because it is broken down into small molecules in the digestive tract.
Generally, plant enzymes cannot catalyze human physiological activities.
The human body does not need to supplement enzymes. Because the human body itself has a complete mechanism to control the production and decomposition of enzymes, and to control all life activities. Supplementing enzymes is tantamount to human intervention in life activities and may not be beneficial.
