A chemical reaction is studied in two aspects: thermodynamics and kinetics n Chemical thermodynamics deals with the question of whether a chemical process can occur at all. n Chemical kinetics deals with the rate of a chemical process. n Many thermodynamically feasible reactions do not actually occur in the universe. n The universe as we know it is as much controlled by the laws of chemical kinetics as by the laws of chemical thermodynamics
How dose enzyme work? The answer to this questionrequires a review of the role of catalysts.

How dose enzyme work? The answer to this question requires a review of the role of catalysts. By definition a catalyst is a substance that enhances the rate of a chemical reaction but is not permanently altered by the reaction. Catalysts perform this feat because they decrease the activation energy required by a chemical reaction. In other words, catalysts provide an alternative reaction pathway that requires less energy. Uncatalyzed reaction Catalyzed reaction A transition state occurs at the apex of both reaction pathways in the figure. During any chemical reaction reactants with sufficient energy will attain transition state configuration (a strained intermediate form)

Enzymes are catalysts. Catalysts modify the rate of a reaction because they provide an alterative reaction pathway that requires less energy than the uncatalyzed reaction. Most enzymes are proteins
