Enzymes are biocatalyst of the body which fasten the biochemical reactions and are regulated by various factors. Generally, the majority of the enzymes are apoenzymes which represent the protein part of an enzyme. Which of the following biocatalyst is non-protein in nature?

Options

  1. ARibozyme
  2. BPepsin
  3. CTrypsin
  4. DAll of the above

Correct answer

A. Ribozyme

Step-by-step solution

Ribozyme was reported from Terahymens (a protozoans) by Cech. The substrate from the ribozyme is usually an RNA molecule. The ribosome acts as a catalyst (23S rRNA in bacteria is the enzyme- ribozyme) for the formation of peptide bond.
