But the catalyst itself is not consumed in the reaction. There are a variety of ways that a catalyst causes the rate to increase. In all cases, the catalyst speeds up a reaction by lowering the activation energy. An enzyme is a substance produced by a living organism that acts a catalyst in biochemical reactions.

The active site is where substrates bind to the enzyme. Induced fit occurs when the enzyme changes shape to better accommodate substrates, facilitating the reaction. Enzymes can be used multiple times and are affected by factors such as temperature and pH.
