An enzyme is simply a protein (a folded chain of amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins). Generally, they're extremely long and folded chains, often in excess of 500 amino acids! These chains generally fold themselves because of chemical/magnetic forces between the amino acids. Sort of like a wire coil or accordion... if you let go of it, it springs back to an original position.
Enzymes are proteins that catalyze (i.e. accelerate) chemical reactions.[1] In enzymatic reactions, the molecule s at the beginning of the process are called substrate s, and the enzyme converts them into different molecule s, the products. Enzymes. Enzymes are catalysts.Most are proteins. biological macromolecule that acts as a catalyst. Most enzymes are proteins, but certain RNAs, called ribozyme s, also have catalytic activity.
