Enzymes reduce the activation energy of a reaction. They accomplish this feat by altering the local chemical environment of the substrates while typically bringing the reactants into close proximity and even stabilizing conformers that promote reaction.

Enzymes are highly specific in their function, catalyzing specific reactions in the body. They can increase the rate of reactions without being consumed in the process, making them efficient catalysts. Enzymes also work under mild conditions of temperature and pH, allowing them to function in the body's environment.
