Amino acid catalysts

Amino acid catalysts are proteins made from amino acids that speed up chemical reactions in biological systems. They act as natural facilitators, lowering the energy needed to start reactions, which makes processes like digestion, energy production, and DNA replication more efficient. These catalysts are highly specific, often working on particular molecules, ensuring reactions occur accurately within cells. Because they are biological, amino acid catalysts are sensitive to environmental conditions but can be regenerated and reused, playing a critical role in maintaining life’s complex chemical processes.
