I am doing some monitoring with prometheus and is trying to understand how to properly use the rate functions. Premise is this; I have a counter, configuration for this is set to ingest new values...
Enzymes. Enzymes are proteins, produced by living cells; they catalyze chemical reactions by lowering the activation energy. Activation energy is the energy required for a chemical reaction to occur. Enzymes are generally globular proteins with characteristic three-dimensional shapes.The active site is the binding site for the enzymeâs substrate. Enzymes are specific for substrate molecules.ctivation energy is the energy required for a chemical reaction to occur.

1. Enzymes catalyse only those reactions that happen naturally. 2. Enzymes are specific: each enzyme is responsible for only 1 kind of reaction, because they are shaped to work with only a certain substrate that matches enzyme's active site. 3. Enzyme changes its conformation when substrate bonds to its active site. This creates stress on the substrate's bond making them easier to break (induced fit model) 4. Enzymes are not changed by the reaction. They are needed in small quantities, because they are reused.
