AB Enzymes  are  specialized  proteins,  which  accelerate  or  catalyze  a  biochemical  reaction.  Each  enzyme  catalyzes  a  specific  reaction  and  is  regulated  by  competitive  and  noncompetitive  inhibitors  and/or  by  allosteric  molecules.  Multiple  enzymes  can  catalyze  a  series  of  consecutive  reactions,  known  as  pathways,  to  produce  and/or  break  down  complex  biological  molecules.  Examples  include  amino  acid  synthesis  and  degradation,  the  coordinated  reactions  involved  in  protein  synthesis,  and  the  urea  cycle.  Problems  with  enzyme  pathways  can  not  only  lead  to  disease  but  also  offer  the  opportunity  for  disease  treatment  via  medications,  which  target  specific  points  in  these  pathways.
