Most enzymes are chemically classified as:
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Proteins
The vast majority of enzymes are proteins with specific three-dimensional structures that determine substrate specificity. A small class of RNA molecules called ribozymes also exhibit catalytic activity.
