Enzyme activity is influenced by several factors related to both enzyme characteristics and external factors. Enzyme concentration, structure, specificity, and stability play a crucial role in determining its activity. Factors such as substrate concentration, pH, temperature, ionic strength, enzyme inhibitors, cofactors, and allosteric regulation significantly impact the rate of enzyme-driven reactions by affecting enzyme conformation and substrate binding. Understanding these factors is essential for optimizing enzyme activity in various applications, including industrial processes and medical treatments.
