The exceptions are a class of RNA molecules known as ribozymes, of which most act upon themselves (i.e. part of the RNA strand is a substrate for the ribozyme part of the strand). In this book (and most textbooks in this field), unless otherwise specified, the term enzyme refers to one made of protein. Enzymes also confer extraordinary specificity to a chemical reaction.

It covers the reaction dynamics, enzyme efficiency improvements, and the effects of inhibitors and solvents on enzyme activity. Insights include the importance of conformational flexibility, the effect of nonpolar solvents for catalysis, and thermodynamic factors affecting the stability of bound and transition state analog ligands.
