Enzymes, being proteins, are made of many amino acids of which some are hydrophobic. These hydrophobic amino acids tend to shun water and fold into the interior of the protein enzyme. Enzymes are in solution so the hydrophobic sections would be away from the solution on the inside and the hydrophillic amino acids would tend to be on the outside of the enzyme.
So, is a limited sense, you could say enzymes are hydrophyllic

Are carbohydrates hydrophilic or hydrophobic and how do you test this?
hydrophilic b/c carbohydrates are made of sugars; sugars (such as glucose) have LOTS of hydroxyl groups which are hydrophilic, therefore carbohydrates are hydrophilic
What is the Hydrophilic end?
The terminal hydroxyl group of a steroid is hydrophilic.
What is both hydrophilic and hydrophobic?
What molecules are both hydrophilic and hydropobic.
Is the polar end of the phospholipid plasma membrane hydrophobic or hydrophilic?
A polar molecule is hydrophilic, which means that it will easily dissolve in water. Examples of hydrophilic molecules are sugars and salts.
Do glycolipids have hydrophilic heads?
Glycolipids contain hydrophilic heads. These hydrophilic heads interact with each other and form a hydrophilic coating on each side of the bilayer point towards the polar solvent.
