All Enzymes are Proteins but all Proteins are not Enzymes!
Ever heard this famous phrase while studying enzymes - All enzymes are proteins but all proteins are not enzymes. To understand this first let us define proteins and enzymes. Proteins are biochemical macromolecules that are made up of chains of amino acids. Proteins can be of different types like structural proteins, fibrous proteins, membrane proteins, transport proteins, enzyme proteins, contractile proteins, antibodies etc.
So what are enzymes? Enzymes are biomolecule which can alter the rate of biochemical reaction usually as a catalyst. All the enzymes are proteinaceous. Hence, this means that all proteins are not enzymes but all enzymes are proteins.
