Enzyme regulation is a process through which enzymes are utilized to control the rate of a chemical reaction. Therefore, through enzyme regulation the chemist can be able to fasten or slow a reaction with an aim of increasing the yield. To achieve this, we alter particular conditions that favor the working ability of the enzyme. Some of these conditions are such as the pressure temperature, concentration etc. In addition, enzymes can be used to carry out the function of a catalyst.
