👉 An anticatalyst is a catalyst that helps an enzyme to work more efficiently or effectively. These are substances or molecules that can directly react with the reactants of an enzyme and thereby speed up its catalytic activity. For example, in biochemical reactions, the presence of a catalyst such as a metal ion or a nucleophile can help reduce the activation energy required for the reaction to occur, making it more efficient. This is why certain enzymes are often used as anticatalysts because they can act as
