    GlossaryEnzyme Activity

    rate at which an enzyme catalyzes a chemical reaction

    Enzyme activity, also known as enzymatic activity or catalytic activity, refers to the rate at which an enzyme catalyzes a chemical reaction. It is a measure of how efficiently an enzyme converts substrates into products, often influenced by factors such as temperature, pH, and the presence of inhibitors or activators. This concept is crucial in understanding various biological processes, including those related to hair growth and alopecia, where specific enzymes play roles in follicle health and function.
