What are enzymes? What is their significance?

All processes in the cell require a certain speed. That is, certain types of catalysts (bioreaction accelerators) are required for their flow. These catalysts are enzymes. By their chemical structure, enzymes are proteins. And proteins are quite complex organic substances. Acting on the rate of any process, the enzymes themselves are not subjected to chemical treatment.
Translated from Latin, the word enzyme means fermentation, leaven. The science of enzymology deals with the study of enzymes.
