# 15 an explation of an enzyme



An enzymes function is by binding one or two more of the reactants in a reaction. The reactants that bind to the enzymes are known as the substrates of the enzyme. Once the substrate or substrates are bound to the enzyme, the enzyme can promote the desired reaction in some pacticular way.An enzyme may also couple two different reactions coupling an exthermic reaction with an endothermic one allows enzyme to use the energy released to drive the endothermic reaction
