Enzyme :  Enzymes are proteins that act as biological catalysts (biocatalysts). Catalysts accelerate chemical reactions.  Substrates and products :   The molecules upon which enzymes may act are called substrates, and the enzyme converts the substrates into different molecules known as products.  An enzymatic reaction in a living cell First discovered enzyme:   In 1833 Anselme Payen discovered the first enzyme Diastase, which is any one of a group of enzymes that catalyses the breakdown of starch into maltose. Different parts of enzymes:   The main two parts of enzymes are apoenzyme and cofactor.   1) Apoenzyme    Apoenzyme is the protein part of an enzyme.  2) Cofactor   A cofactor is the protein less part of the enzyme.  I) Organic part of cofactors:  I-a) Prosthetic group  When the protein less part of the enzyme is tightly attached with protein then it is called a prosthetic group.  I-b) Coenzyme ...
