This website was made by a group of students in the Honors Biology section, namely Matthew Hay-Roe, Zachary Dukerich, Cynthia Lee, Yousif Yonan, Ashley Applebee, and Guan Ling Hou. Our aim was to create a website that both explained the function and history of enzymes, an article addressing the creation of synthetic enzymes, and finally the real world applications of enzymes.

We have been mentored by the wonderful Dr. Florence Tamas.

An enzyme is a protein that acts as a biological catalyst. A catalyst aids in the cause or acceleration of a chemical reaction.
