"All enzymes are not proteins". Which of the following justifies this statement?

A
RNAs act as ribozymes
B
Antibodies take pa in the catalysis of many reactions
C
All enzymes do not follow the Michaelis Menton hypothesis
D
Metals are involved in attachment to enzymes and catalysts
High-Yield Explanation
Enzymes are protein catalysts that increase the velocity of a chemical reaction and are consumed during the reaction they catalyse. Not all enzymes are proteins, some types of RNA can act like enzymes, usually catalyzing the cleavage and synthesis of phosphodiester bonds. Ribozymes are RNA molecules which catalyze cutting of nascent mRNA or primary transcript.
