Best Answer

Not all of them are catalytic. There is a class of proteins called enzymes that are catalyzing biochemical reactions. Enzymes are take part in the reaction to speed by the reaction without consuming itself, meaning they can be recycled to the next reactions. Protease, lactase, APOBEC3G are some examples.

Inorganic catalysts (MnO2, for example) are not proteins.

Enzymes may be - I can't find a definitive answer.

The suffix -ase appended to chemical names denotes that the substance is an enzyme, and all enzymes by Nature are proteins.
