Enzymes are proteins that act as a catalyst, lowering the activation energy of a reaction, therefore dramatically increasing the rate of the reaction. An example of this is the enzyme betagalactosidase which binds the lactose substrate, lowering the activation energy, therefore increasing the rate at which this reaction forms its monosaccharidal units, glucose and maltose. On the other hand proteins can act as transportational and structural elements within the cell, rather than catalysts. It must also be noted that not all enzymes are proteins. I am not sure of the direct terminology (wikipedia will help) but ribosomes are enzymes that are not proteins.

∙ 15y agoTrue: enzymes are proteins, however all of the body is built up of proteins - your hair for example is made from proteins, however your hair is definitely not an enzyme.

∙ 11y agoall enzymes except ribozyme are proteins because they can func. only in an optimum temp. high temp.can denature their structure.

Is a protein an enzyme?
Yes it is. A protein is made from a long string of amino-acids. Proteins come in three specific types: structural, functional, and regulatory. Enzymes reside in the Functional Class of Enzymes.
A protein that speeds up a reaction rate is?
Enzymes are biochemical catalyst, which are chemically protein molecules that would carry out the biochemical reactions. As a general rule, all the enzymes are proteins but not all the proteins are enzymes.
What is the most important enzyme in gastric juice?
Pepsin is the most important enzyme in gastric juice. It begins the digestion of nearly all types of dietary protein into polypeptides. (Originates from the inactive form pepsinogen)
Are all enzymes protiens?
no because there are some that are enzymes, carbohydrates, nucleic acids, and amino acids. That is the answer.
What controls the production of enzymes?
An enzyme is a protein. First of all, RNA which is a copy of DNA is formed to be translated by ribosomes. Each 3 letters form a specific amino acid. These amino acids are combined together by RNA to form a protein.
Is cholinesterase a protein and an enzyme?
Yes, it is an enzyme and all enzymes are proteins.
Accounting Equation is under all circumstances. Justify this statement with the help of five illustrations?
"Accounting Equation is true under all circumstances." Justify this statement with the help of five illustrations.
Accounting equation is true under all circumstances justify the statement with help of suitable example?
"Accounting Equation is true under all circumstances." Justify this statement with the help of examples.
Is a enzyme a protein that acts as a catalyst formed?
All Enzyme are proteins enzymes act as catalyst
What type of protein regulates nearly all chemical reaction in a cell?
An enzyme is a protein that speeds up the rate of chemical reactions.
What type of protein regulates nearly all chemical reactions in the cell?
That protein would be an enzyme.
What is a protein that acts as an organic catalist?
First of all 'catalist ' is spelled as 'CATALYST'. Note the 'Y' in place of 'i'. A protein that acts as an orgsanic catalyst is an ENZYME.
Is a protein an enzyme?
Yes it is. A protein is made from a long string of amino-acids. Proteins come in three specific types: structural, functional, and regulatory. Enzymes reside in the Functional Class of Enzymes.
What special type of enzyme is made of protein?
All enzymes are proteins (but not all proteins are enzymes).
What is an organic non-protein component that aids in enzyme functioning?
All enzymes are protein molecules
Is an enzyme an organic substance?
Yes, an enzyme is an organic substance, because it is a protein, and all proteins contain carbon, which is the definition of an organic substance.
What are all the leukodystrophies caused by?
All of the leukodystrophies are caused by either a defective protein component of myelin, or by a malfunctioning enzyme that interacts with one of the protein or lipid constituents
