Enzymes are proteins that accelerate, or catalyze, chemical reactions. In these reactions, the
molecules at the beginning of the process are called substrates and the enzyme converts these
into different molecules: the products. Almost all processes in the cell need enzymes in order to
occur at significant rates. Since enzymes are extremely selective for their substrates and speed
up only a few reactions from among many possibilities, the set of enzymes made in a cell
determines which metabolic pathways occur in that cell.
