Source sentences:
text: Enzymes are highly selective catalysts, meaning that each enzyme only speeds up a specific reaction.
text: That shape allows the enzyme to carry out specific chemical reactions -- an enzyme acts as a very efficient catalyst for a specific chemical reaction.
text: They are very selective, meaning that each enzyme only speeds up a specific reaction.
text: Each enzyme will only speed up a specific reaction, for example, catalase will speed up the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen but it will not speed up the breakdown of starch into glucose.
text: Enzyme activity (or potency) is a measure of how much enzyme is needed to accomplish a specific reaction within a specified time.
text: Enzymes are highly specific as to the substrates they bind; any given enzyme can only catalyze one specific reaction.
