Enzymes are large molecules made of protein that catalyze biochemical reactions in organisms. As catalysts, they lower the activation energy required to make a reaction occur and thus speed up the rate of the reaction. Each type of enzyme is specialized for a specific reaction and has a unique 3-dimensional structure which allows it to fit with the substrate, at its active site, to facilitate a reaction. Enzymes are needed for all of the biochemical reactions that occur in organisms, including those related to digestion and functioning of the circulatory, immunological, nervous and muscular systems in vertebrates. There are various inherited disorders in humans that result in enzyme deficiencies, such as mucopolysaccharidosis and Nieman-Pick disease. Enzymes are also necessary in food microbiology for the production of cheese, yogurt, alcohol, soy sauce and vinegar.http://www.biology.arizona.edu/biochemistry/problem_sets/energy_enzymes_catalysis/01q.html http://www.nfctr.org/rar_childhood_disorders.php#enzyme http://web.fccj.edu/~dbyres/enzyme1.html
