There are a few RNA catalysts are known, but the majority is only proteins. Biochemical reactions are speed by enzymes by lowering the activation energy. Enzymes like other proteins are coded in DNA.

What is the scientific name of enzymes?

Enzymes belong to a class of proteins called "biocatalysts" and do not have a single scientific name. They are named based on the substrate they act upon and end with the suffix "-ase." For example, the enzyme that breaks down proteins is called protease.


What is biocatalyst Explain their function in activation energy?

Biocatalysts are the use of protein enzymes to perform chemical reaction to an organic compound. The biocatalysts do not have a role is activating energy. It is use to create new matter.

What enzymatic reaction can be catalysed by enzymes which are not proteins?

An Enzyme must always be a protein. Any Enzyme is always categorized as the amine in the amino acid sequences that comprise it, and anything made of amino acids is automatically categorized as a protein. Therefore, not all proteins are enzymes, but all enzymes are proteins.
