Characteristics of enzymes are as follows:
1.Enzymes possess great catalytic power.
2.Enzymes are highy specific.
3.Enzymes show varying degree of specificities.
4.Absolute specificity where the enzymes react specifically with only one substrate.
5.Stereo specificity is where the enzymes can detect the different optical isomers and react to only one type of isomer.
6.Reaction specific enzymes, these enzymes as the name suggests reacts to specific reactions only.
7.Group specific enzymes are those that catalyze a group of substances that contain specific substances.
8.The enzyme activity can be controlled but the activity of the catalysts can not be controlled.
9.All enzymes are proteins.
10.Like the proteins, enzymes can be coagulated by alcohol, heat, concentrated acids and alkaline reagents.
11.At higher temperatures the rate of the reaction is faster.
12.The rate of the reaction invovlving an enzyme is high at the optimum temperature.
13.Enzymes have an optimum pH range within which the enzymes function is at its peak.
14.If the substrate shows deviations larger than the optimum temperature or pH, required by the enzyme to work, the enzymes do not function such conditions.

1. Enzymes speed up reactions by bringing reactants together.
2. it reducing the activation energy required to start the reaction (enzymatic reaction).
3. Enzymes are specific: they have a specific shape,
4 .therefore only a certain substrate will fit its active site
i hope it will help u
thank you
