What is the superiority of the catalyst compared to the stoichiometric reagent?
Specificity: an enzyme can only catalyze one or a class of substrates, such as proteases that catalyze the hydrolysis of proteins into polypeptides;
Efficient: The catalytic efficiency of the enzyme is higher than that of the inorganic catalyst, making the reaction rate faster;
Some enzymes are related to cofactors, and because of the fact that most enzymes are proteins, they are destroyed by high temperatures, strong acids and strong bases.
Activity adjustable: including inhibitors and activator regulation, feedback inhibition regulation, covalent modification and allosteric regulation.
Mildness: means that the chemical reaction catalyzed by the enzyme is generally carried out under relatively mild conditions
