The enzymes perform a number of functions in our bodies. These include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Enzymes help in signal transduction. The most common enzyme used in the process includes protein kinase that catalyzes the phosphorylation of proteins.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. They break down large molecules into smaller substances that can be easily absorbed by the body.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. They help in generating energy in the body. ATP synthase is the enzyme involved in the synthesis of energy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Enzymes are responsible for the movement of ions across the plasma membrane.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Enzymes perform a number of biochemical reactions, including oxidation, reduction, hydrolysis, etc. to eliminate the non-nutritive substances from the body.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. They function to reorganize the internal structure of the cell to regulate cellular activities.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
