Most enzymes are proteins, yes. However, the statement (used some number of years ago) that all enzymes are proteins is false. There are a few (but important) exceptions to that generalization.

Enzymes are proteins comprised of amino acids linked together in one or more polypeptide chains. This sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide chain is called the primary structure. This, in turn, determines the three-dimensional structure of the enzyme, including the shape of the active site.
Mohammad Saleem Khan
Yes, enzymes are mostly proteins. They act as biological catalysts to different chemical reactions occurring in living organisms. They are composed of chains of amino acids. Having unique three dimensional structure, enzymes bind to substrate molecules, reduce binding energy required for that particular reaction (catalyze it in this way) and the reaction proceeds further. The specific binding and catalytic activity depends upon the special arrangement of amino acid in the enzyme's active site, a region where the substrate binds.
So we can say Enzymes are proteins having special role of facilitating chemical reactions in living organisms.

Enzyme are biological catalysts . they help to speed up the differnt chemical reactions in human body . Without them the life would be impossible . they are solely of proteins
They have following characteristics
The are biological catalyst
They speed up the reactions without being used up
Every specific reaction require a specific enzyme
Rate of enzyme catalyzed reaction depends upon
Concentration of substrate
Number of active sites
Ph
Temperature

Noor Hoor
Yes, enzymes are proteins. Proteins are large molecules composed of amino acids, and enzymes are a specific type of protein that acts as a catalyst in biological reactions. They facilitate and accelerate chemical reactions in living organisms by lowering the activation energy required for the reaction to occur. Enzymes play crucial roles in various biological processes, including metabolism, digestion, and cellular signaling.

Yes, enzymes are proteins made up of amino acids . Proteins comprising enzymes mostly develop a tertiary or quarternary structure . Due to proteins as fundamental units, enzymes are mostly very sensitive to temperature ph and substrate.
lenpollock
YES!!!
However, not all proteins are enzymes.
Enzymes are a very specific protein. They catalyse a biological reaction in very specific environment.
Michael Belew
Yes enzymes are protine like Trypsin,pepsin are good example
Qamar Mubeen Gohar
Enzymes are generally consists of protein.Few enzymes have non-protein part such as nucleic acid.Enzymes that are not proteins are ribozymes( ribonucleic acid enzymes).They are RNA based enzymes.

Are enzymes a mineral?
No. Enzymes are proteins.
What catalyst do we have in our body?
In biology, enzymes are proteins that act as catalysts in the body.
Does proteolytic enzymes cause denature of proteins?
Denaturing in the sense that proteolytic enzymes reduce proteins to their amino acid subunits.
What group of molecules are enzymes?
Most enzymes are proteins. Almost all chemical reactions in a biological cell need enzymes in order to occur at rates sufficient for life. Since enzymes are selective for their substrates and speed up only a few reactions from among many possibilities, the set of enzymes made in a cell determines which metabolic pathways occur in that cell. Enzymes are known to catalyze about 4,000 biochemical reactions.
Which of the following statements about enzymes is not true A are catalysts B almost all enzymes are proteins C operate most efficiently at optimum pH D destroyed during chemical reactions?
Enzymes are not destroyed during chemical reactions.
Do proteins serve as enzymes?
Some proteins do serve as enzymes, but certainly not all proteins.
Are proteins a enzymes?
Proteins are not enzymes. Enzymes are protein,tertiary proteins
Why enzymes are made up of proteins?
Enzymes are proteins but not all proteins are enzymes.
What type of macromolecule is an enzyme?
Enzymes are a form of a protein.
What type of macromolecules are enzymes made from?
They are made up of proteins. They are globular proteins
Are all proteins enzymes Explain your answer?
No. All enzymes are proteins but not all proteins are enzymes. Muscle tissue is made of protein but it is not made of enzymes.
Enzymes are what type of macromolecule?
They are type of proteins. They are 3D globular proteins
Are all proteins enzymes?
No, there are structural proteins, functional proteins [enzymes] and regulatory proteins. Are all enzymes proteins? Yes. Further, many proteins are closely associated with Rnas.
Are enzymes passive transport proteins?
No, enzymes are catalyst proteins.
What type of organic moleules are most enzymes?
They are type of proteins. They are globular proteins
Are enzymes carbohydrateds?
No, enzymes are generally proteins (with exceptions), not carbohydrates.
Is enzymes an organ?
No, enzymes are proteins.
