| Enzymes | Catalysts | |
| 1. | proteins in nature | inorganic chemicals e.g. Pt |
| 2. | catalyze specific reactions
Such as hydrolysis of starch
|
may catalyze more than one reaction e.g. platinum catalyze decomposition of H2O2 and reduction of benzene |
| 3. | Denatured by heat above 450C | Usually are not affected by heat |
| 4. | Very sensitive to pH | Not sensitive to pH |
| 5. | Initiate reaction | Do not initiate reaction |
