Enzymes are made up of:
Edible proteins.
Proteins with specific structures.
Nitrogen-containing carbohydrates.
Carbohydrates.
Almost all enzymes are globular proteins with highly specific three-dimensional (tertiary) structures. This specific folded structure creates unique crevices or pockets called 'active sites' where specific substrates bind, allowing the enzyme to catalyze biochemical reactions efficiently.
