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.

No, not all proteins are enzymes. Enzymes are a type of protein that catalyze specific biochemical reactions. While many enzymes are proteins, there are also non-enzymatic proteins that serve structural, regulatory, or transport functions in the body.


Are all proteins enzymes?

No, not all proteins are enzymes. Enzymes are a type of protein that acts as biological catalysts to facilitate chemical reactions in living organisms. While many enzymes are proteins, not all proteins have enzymatic activity. Proteins can have a variety of functions in the body beyond catalyzing reactions.
