The function of enzymes is to bind to a substrate, stressing and destabilizing bonds to reduce the overall energy level of its transition state (Ea), allowing the reaction to proceed at a faster rate.
La función de las enzimas es unirse al sustrato, estresar y desestabilizar los enlaces para reducir la energía general de su estado de transición (Ea), lo que permite que la reacción proceda a una velocidad más rápida.
