A critical function of proteins is their activity as enzymes, which are needed to catalyze almost all biological reactions. Regulation of enzyme activity thus plays a key role in governing cell behavior.

Enzymes can be regulated by other molecules that either increase or reduce their activity. Molecules that increase the activity of an enzyme are called activators, while molecules that decrease the activity of an enzyme are called inhibitors.
