Introduction:
Enzymes are any of numerous proteins or conjugated proteins produced by living organisms and functioning as biochemical catalysts.
Enzymes can be extracted from plants and many animal parts.
There are many different types
of enzymes with different properties, so some may be a better
catalyst for a certain chemical reaction than others.

Because of the importance of enzymes, we need to
know about the factors that may modify the effects of
enzymes.
For example we need to
know if heat, light or acids may alter the enzyme activity and stop its
effects.
