enzymatic pathways

Enzymatic pathways are sequences of chemical reactions in the body facilitated by enzymes, which are special proteins acting as biological catalysts. These enzymes speed up reactions, allowing processes like digestion, energy production, and cell repair to happen efficiently. Each step in a pathway is connected to the next, with enzymes guiding substrates (reactants) through specific transformations into products. This organized flow ensures that complex biological functions occur smoothly and accurately, maintaining health and supporting life processes.
