 * 2)   The protein type specifically.
 * 3)  Leavened bread, as opposed to azyme.

Usage notes
Before 1980, protein enzymes were the only known type, so the word enzyme invariably meant that type. Since RNA catalysis was discovered, ribozymes are often viewed as a type of enzyme (in the newer and broader sense of the word), but even today, their name is often used coordinately with the stricter sense.
