Enzymes are the biocatalysts that enhance the rate of a biochemical reaction. They can be found at different locations in the body of an organism. Deficiency of an enzyme generally has adverse impacts on the body’s metabolism and may cause a disease or severe defects. Diseases can also be caused by microorganisms, including bacteria or viruses, and malfunctioning of cellular components.
