The Role of Enzymes in Living Organisms. Enzymes are macromolecules that catalyze chemical reactions within a living organism. Most are proteins, but there are also RNA enzymes which aid in protein synthesis.
Hydrolysis Reactions in Living Organisms. Hydrolysis reactions in living organisms are performed with the help of catalysis by a class of enzymes known as hydrolases. The biochemical reactions that break down polymers, such as proteins (which are peptide bonds between amino acids), nucleotides, complex sugars and starch, and fats are catalyzed by this class of enzymes. Within this class are lipases, amylases, proteinases hydrolyze fats, sugars, and proteins, respectively.
