enzyme's
Biological catalyst's property
Enzyme's is the possessive form of enzyme, a protein that speeds up chemical reactions in living organisms.
The possessive indicates something belonging to or associated with the enzyme: the enzyme's active site, the enzyme's function in digestion.
Each enzyme's specificity determines which reactions it catalyzes.
