Enzymes are biological catalysts, and most enzymes are proteins (a few are RNA). Proteins are one of the main classes of organic compounds, along with carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids. The structure and function of enzymes (like catalyzing biochemical reactions) align with the properties of proteins, which are polymers of amino acids.
