Enzymes are folded proteins. Proteins are made by ribosomes in the cell. To be specific, information in the nucleus (DNA) is transcripted to mRNA which leaves the nucleus to go to a ribosome to help it assemble amino acids (which are the building blocks of protein). The ribosome "reads" the information of the mRNA and make a sequence of amino acids based on that. This chain of amino acids will become folded due to interactions between between each amino acids which will ultimately become a fully functional protein. This protein may become an enzyme. All enzymes are proteins but not all proteins are enzymes.
