Question

How do enzymes affect gibbs free energy?

Answer 1

Enzymes decrease the Gibbs free energy of activation, but they have no effect on the free energy of reaction. Enzymes work by lowering the activation energy ( Ea or ΔG✳ ) for a reaction. This increases the reaction rate. The free energy of the product is the same as it would be without the enzyme.
