Enzymes lower activation energy

Induced-fit model showing substrate binding and a reaction energy profile with lower activation energy for an enzyme-catalysed reaction

Many proteins are enzymes. An enzyme is a protein catalyst that speeds up a metabolic reaction without being used up, so reactions can happen fast enough at body temperature.
