There are many many enzymes. You will have to be more specific. An enzyme is a protein that acts as a catalyst in a reaction in order to speed up the reaction. More specifically it lowers the activation energy required in order for a particular reaction to take place.

Do proteins have enzymes?

Not all enzymes are proteins. In general they are globular proteins. Enzymes that are proteins are long, linear chains of amino acids that fold to produce a three-dimensional product. Most enzymes can be denaturated, which means that they can be unfolded and inactivated, (by heating or chemical denaturants, which disrupts the three-dimensional structure of the protein.) Depending on the type of the enzyme, denaturation may reversible or irreversible.

What type of polymer are enzymes?

Enzymes are a type of protein, which are polymers made up of amino acids. These amino acids are linked together by peptide bonds, forming long chains that fold into specific three-dimensional structures essential for their catalytic activity. While not all enzymes are proteins (some RNA molecules can also act as enzymes, known as ribozymes), the majority are protein-based.
