An enzyme is a protein, so is in its most basic form, a string of amino acids.
However, hydrogen bonds between molecules in the string make the chain fold into a large, bundled shape that will have an 'active site' that will only allow bonding one specific substrate.

the ?point? of an enzyme. is that what you mean?
well, an enzyme is a biological catalyst. it speeds up cellular reactions (reactions that happen in cells i.e. respiration and protein synthesis) or
Enzymes are special proteins produced by our body which bring about or speed up certain chemical reations in our body like those involved in digestion

enzyme.
The type of molecule that is an enzyme is a protein molecule.
Enzyme activators like cofactors or substrates can switch on enzyme activity by binding to the enzyme and promoting its function. Conversely, inhibitors can switch off or reduce enzyme activity by binding to the enzyme and preventing its normal function.
The enzyme that activates another enzyme is called a kinase. Kinases add phosphate groups to proteins, a process known as phosphorylation, which can activate or deactivate the target enzyme.
