Summary
Enzymes are proteins as they function as biological catalysts that enable reactions in a living cell without enduring too much change.
1
Proteins are best equipped to serve as enzymes among other roles because of their capacity for reversible shape alterations.

Summary
An enzyme is a biological catalyst and is almost always a protein. It speeds up the rate of a specific chemical reaction in the cell. The enzyme is not destroyed during the reaction and is used over and over. A cell contains thousands of different types of enzyme molecules, each specific to a particular chemical reaction.
