As we have learnt,

Enzymes are highly specific catalysts and a perticular enzyme is able to carry out one particular reaction only.

Almost, all enzymes are proteins and they act as catalysts by lowering the activation energy of reactions. They operate under an optimum pH of 5-7 and optimum temperature of 298-310 K.
