How Do Enzyme Catalysts Enhance Catalytic Systems?
Enzyme catalysts are natural catalysts that significantly enhance catalytic systems by providing:
- High Specificity: Enzymes are highly specific to their substrates, ensuring precise catalytic activity. - Mild Conditions: Enzymes operate under mild conditions (e.g., ambient temperature and pressure), reducing energy consumption and improving safety. - Biodegradability: Enzymes are biodegradable and environmentally friendly, making them suitable for green chemistry applications.
