The document details the nomenclature and classification of enzymes, describing them as biological catalysts that facilitate chemical reactions without being consumed. Enzymes are named based on their substrates and the type of reaction they catalyze, with a systematic naming convention outlined by the International Union of Biochemistry, including classification into six main groups such as oxidoreductases, transferases, and hydrolases. Each enzyme is assigned an EC number that indicates its classification based on the reactions it catalyzes, providing a systematic method for categorizing their biochemical functions.
