Question

What are the five properties of an enzyme?

Answer 1

Not sure what you mean but here's what i think

1.They are substrate-specific, because it's a lock-and-key mechanism.

2. They are re-used

3. They can catalyze reactions

4. They decrease activation energy

5. They are proteins by nature.

Answer 2

Enzymes speed up reactions by bringing reactants together and reducing the activation energy required to start the reaction (enzymatic reaction). Enzymes are specific: they have a specific shape, therefore only a certain substrate will fit its active site.Enzymes do not affect equilibrium. Enzymes bind transition states (the peak of the reaction coordinate diagram) better than substrates. Enzymes need a lot of energy and are large.
