No, nucleic acids are only holders of information, unless you mean the catalytic properties of RNA, but I think in the phrase " speed up biological chemical reactions " you could be referring to enzymes. Proteins made of amino acids.
These substances are called enzymes.
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.
peptide
The covalent bonds between amino acids are called peptide bonds. It is a bond between the carboxyl group of one amino acid and the amino group of another amino acid. Amino acids are bonded through condensation reactions, which produces a water molecule.
I believe that you are referring to Enzymes.
They are called "Enzymes" or organic catalysts.
lipid
A substance that enhances a chemical reaction is a catalyst. Certain proteins that are catalysts are called enzymes. An example of an enzyme is pepsin.
Proteins are used to help restore any damaged tissues in the body and there are also special types of proteins called enzymes that are catalysts used for chemical reactions. Proteins can form biological structures, such as cytoskeletons. They can also be enzymes, which catalyze chemical reactions, can act as antibodies, and can also act as membrane receptors to bind molecules to a cell.
The (general) name of proteins that makes chemical reactions inside the body work is 'enzyme'. Enzymes have a 'catalyst' function. There is one for each specific biological reaction.
Special proteins are enzymes. Enzymes are not made by the body, DNA is read and copied by these special proteins.
Enzymes are a special kind of bio molecules called proteins that catalyse rate of reactions.
These special proteins are called enzymes.
Enzymes reduce the activation energy of a reaction. They accomplish this feat by altering the local chemical environment of the substrates while typically bringing the reactants into close proximity and even stabilizing conformers that promote reaction.
proteins
AnswerEnzymes are biological catalysts, they speed up chemical reactions inside livig things. They are made up of proteins. Enzymes have a special shape, there is a starting chemical called a substrate that fits into the enzymes special shape.- you may wanna consider the substrates that are in enzyme's along with the product
