Answer 1

Ribozymes conflict with the belief of early molecular biologists that each enzyme is a polypeptide. A ribozyme is composed of RNA.

A ribozyme (ribonucleic acid enzyme) is an RNA molecule capable of speeding up a chemical reaction.

In consequence, ribozymes have catalytic activity.

For example, within the ribosome, the large subunit of ribosomal RNA acts as a ribozyme that links amino acids during the synthesis of polypeptide chains.

On the other hand, enzymes are specific proteins (composed of amino acids) that can speed up chemical reactions.
