  • enzyme activity
Definition: Catalysis of a biochemical reaction at physiological temperatures.

Enzymes possess specific binding sites for substrates, and are usually composed wholly or largely of protein, but RNA that has catalytic activity (ribozyme) is often also regarded as enzymatic. 0198506732
