I am doing some monitoring with prometheus and is trying to understand how to properly use the rate functions. Premise is this; I have a counter, configuration for this is set to ingest new values...
Enzymes. Enzymes are proteins, produced by living cells; they catalyze chemical reactions by lowering the activation energy. Activation energy is the energy required for a chemical reaction to occur. Enzymes are generally globular proteins with characteristic three-dimensional shapes.The active site is the binding site for the enzymeâs substrate. Enzymes are specific for substrate molecules.ctivation energy is the energy required for a chemical reaction to occur.

Enzymes and Catalysis. Enzymes are proteins that reduce the energy required to achieve the transition state (Figure 2). Enzymes reduce the activation energy through a process called catalysis. A biochemical reaction when an enzyme is present is called a catalyzed reaction. Catalysis can happen in different ways. Enzymes can use the transfer of protons or electrons to the reactants to modify the state of the reactants.
