Question

What is the difference between Enzymes and protein?

Answer 1

Hint: Proteins are very large molecules made up of amino acids. It also contains carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and amino acids. Protein molecules are complex molecules and formed by one or more twisted strands of amino acids. Protein also causes body movement in a larger scale. There are four types of proteins.
- Primary protein
- Secondary protein
- Tertiary protein
- Quaternary protein

Complete answer:
Differences between enzyme and protein:

Enzyme	Protein
Enzymes are functional proteins	Protein can be functional or structural both
Enzymes are highly substrate specific molecules	Proteins can be digested or broken down by enzymes
All enzymes are globular proteins	All proteins are not globular.
Enzymes are classified on the basis of their functions.	Proteins are classified on the basis of their structure or their chemical structure
Enzymes do not take part in any chemical reactions.	Proteins take part in a chemical reaction
Enzymes break down into proteins.	Proteins break down into amino acids

Note: For efficient functioning the body releases chemicals which are called enzymes. Those chemicals accelerate biological processes. Such as respiration, digestion and many more things. Many types of enzymes are there. Those are, oxidoreductase, transferase, hydrolase, lyases, isomerase, ligases. All these enzymes have their different functions. The enzymes are said to possess an active site, and that site is a part of a molecule which contains a proper shape and a significant and functional group to bind the reactant molecules.
